Morro Negrito’s New Deep Sea Fishing Boat
August 27, 2007, 10:52 amMorro Negrito now has a fully equipped deep sea fishing boat that can take fishermen to the world class fishing spots located in the Gulf of Chiriqui, Panama. The 25 ft deep V hull boat can smoothly cut through big swells and is equipped with new twin 115 hp 4 stroke motors, live bait well, GPS fish finder and an onboard stereo system.
The Gulf of Chiriqui is located south of David and covers an area of 14,740 hectares plus a great number of Islands and Islets. Among them you can find Isla Coiba, Isla Cebaco, Isla Montuosa, Boca Brava, Jicaron and Isla Secas with some of the best big game sport fishing, surfing and sport-diving in Central America. Hannibal Bank and Coiba Island are both well known sport-diving and salt water sport fishing destinations Panama Central America. Hannibal Bank is famous for its Sailfish, Tuna, Blue Marlin and Black Marlin among others. The bottom of the ocean or undersea topography in this area switches from over 3,000ft deep to 124ft in less than 2 1/2 miles. This creates currents that are convenient when going on an offshore fishing salt water fishing trip. This is the home for large Yellow Fin Tuna and schools of Marlin.
Coiba Island is located in the Gulf of Montijo and is the largest island in the Mesoamerican Pacific with 270,125 hectares. It is located 30 miles off the coast and 200 miles from Panama City. Recent studies reveal that Coiba Island was inhabited as early as 500 years B.C. The Coiba Island is now a patrolled national park and protected from commercial fishing within its boundaries. The island was first ruled by Coiba Indians and later ruled by Vasco Nuñes de Balboa who at some point was defeated by pirates. In 1918 a penal colony was established and was closed in 1992. This island had a penal population that reached up to 3,000 prisoners. Besides from sport fishing, here you will find great opportunities for adventure travel or eco tourism. You will find a great variety of monkeys, iguanas, crocodile, snakes and over 133 different species of birds for those birdwatchers.
Cebaco Island is located between Santa Catalina and Mariato “West Coast of the Peninsula de Azuero”. This island is home to some of the most beautiful beaches with crystal clear water and scenery for sport-diving, snorkeling or guided fishing trips. The Cebaco Bay is located south of the island and it is excellent for big game fishing or angling, sport diving and surfing. It’s reefs are home of Cubera Snapper, Roosterfish, Dorado, Monster Yellowfin Tuna (100 + pounds) and a variety of billfish such as sail fish
Montousa Island is 10 miles off Hannibal Bank and it is also a great sport-diving spot in clear waters of Panama’s Pacific Ocean. The bottom floor also rises dramatically from approximate depths of 10,000 ft making it great for deep sea fishing in Panama.
Jicaron Island is located south of Isla Coiba and it’s located at only two miles from the dramatic ocean floor drop off. The island setting of underwater rocks and reefs are home of Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Amberjack, Roosterfish, Amberjacks, Trevally and Marlin.
Secas Island has a great diving site on the southwest side of the island. The dive spot is inhabited by large rays that will cruise by you on most dives. Moreover, this island is a boutique resort we operate with which was designed for those who want private, pristine surroundings with excellent service.
Contreras Island is part of the Coiba National Park which means is great for diving. However, no spear fishing or similarities are allowed.
