Panama Fishing Fire: Tuna, Dorado, and Roosterfish Bite Strong This April Morning

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for Pacific Coast Panama fishin' on this fine April 24, 2026, at 3 AM. Mornin' tide's risin' slow here on the Pacific side—high tide hits around 8:15 AM at 2.1 meters, low at 2:30 PM droppin' to 0.4 meters, per local tide charts from Panama Bay stations. Weather's balmy, 82°F with light southeast winds at 5-10 knots, partly cloudy, sunrise at 6:05 AM, sunset 6:35 PM—perfect for dawn bites. Fish are fired up post-rainy season; water temps hoverin' 82-85°F, sparklin' with bait balls. Recent reports from Coiba Island and Gulf of Chiriquí anglers show solid hauls: 20-30 lb yellowfin tuna on the troll, dorado schools crashin' surface in 10-20 lb class, roosterfish up to 40 lbs patrollin' reefs, plus snook and jack crevalle mixin' in. Locals off Pedasí landed 15 dorado yesterday on live sardines, while charters from Santa Catalina boated 8 tuna limits usin' feathers. Best lures? Big paddletails and walk-the-dog topwaters like Rapalas mimickin' mullet for roosters and jacks—cast 'em on fallin' tides. Jiggin' 6-inch soft plastics in chartreuse or pink for tuna near structure. Live bait kings: sardines or mullet on circle hooks for dorado and snook, shrimp for inshore jacks. Hit the drop-offs at **Punta Chame** for roosterfish hot action on lures, or **Isla Iguana** reefs for mixed bags of tuna and dorado—anchor up and chunk bait.
