GRUNDÉNS PRESENTS: Panama – Sport Fishing Paradise


par-a-dise noun
: a place or state of bliss, felicity, or delight

The definition of “paradise” can be interpreted in many ways. To anglers, that definition can be dissected even further depending on preferred fishing style, body of water, and target fish species. For ocean-enthused sport fishermen, nothing can be truer than calling a trip off Central America’s rugged Pacific coastline as a full-blown bucket list fishing experience.


That’s why when Captain Shane Jarvis of Sport Fish Panama Island Lodge invited us to experience everything his slice of sport fishing Heaven has to offer, we simply couldn’t refuse. And, while we anticipated explosive encounters with some of the Pacific Ocean’s apex big game predators, what we left with was awe over the diversity and endless options for sport fishing variety the region had to offer. Coupled with incredible scenery, warm weather, and laid-back, tropical vibes, Panama checks all the boxes of a true sport fishing paradise.
