Full Day Trip – Taboga Island on October 30, 2024
We had blast and catched a lot of fish. The crew were really nice and skilled anchlors. They helped us catch mahi's, which was our prized fish. All in all, the expirience was amazing. Could not be any better 10 ot of 10! Big thank you to Melvin and Marco!

WE HAVE A NEW LIFE LONG FRIEND
Full Day – 20 Fathom and Taboguilla on February 10, 2023
Booking a fishing trip online can be stressful experience - safe parking, safe boat and an honest captain are important. The Blue Lobster meets all 3 - the parking is on the parking lot for the Panama State Police, Captain Gustavo is kind, honest and very responsive - and his boat is fantastic for fishing (I own a couple of boats back in NY as well). The bite was slow (as it is after all fishing not catching lol) but Gustavo tried hard to get us on the bite. Unfortunately even with live bait we didnt' do well. However, we saw amazing scenery, beautiful islands and the canal (we live in NY but are from Panama originally). It was a great trip with a Captain that treated us like family and he is an avid fisherman such as us. We traded some stories and lures lol HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM....we miss our Panama already and our new family - The Blue Lobster Family! :)

Full Day Trip – Taboga Island on March 8, 2022
We met the crew at the public boat dock and headed out to the nearby islands. We had our first fish on minutes later, it was a big red snapper. We caught 4 red snapper, two yellow snapper and a broom tale grouper. All while we were trolling. I was also casting a pop bait and had a couple of rooster fish come after the bait. They took us over to the small community on the large island and we got a bite to eat and a couple of beers while they fileted the fish. We went back out fishing for another 2 hours and caught a bunch of Crevalle Jacks. They had taken over the water so we decided to call it a day. They were definitely fun to catch but they’re not a good eating fish. We had a blast and they definitely made sure we got 8 hours of fishing. Highly recommend these gentlemen.

January fishing trip
Full Day Trip – Bottom Fishing on January 30, 2024
From what I was told January was a slow month. Most of the big Fish has moved out, but Captain was still able to put us on some nice size fish. He was able to fill up the whole cooler in the front deck. I will definitely book them again. The captain and the were an awesome team. They kept us entertain, and put us on lots of fish.

Half Day Trip – Bottom Fishing on June 24, 2023
Had a quick stop in Panama City and booked a trip with Gustavo and Melvin. The guys were great and knows their waters well. Two stops and non stop action both times; the keepers were on the second stop. 4 species of snapper caught amongst some other species. The Blue lobster crew were equally or more excited than us with the large fish caught 😆. Something an avid angler can appreciate. Good communication on board and during the booking process. I would choose them again for another trip.
