The Roosterfish is one of the most unique looking fish patrolling central america oceans. It gets its name from the giant, distinctive dorsal fin on the top of their powerful bodies. The tall, comb-like fin is distinctive and easily spotted when the fish breaks the surface on the hunt for baitfish. 

Typically, the Roosterfish hunts close to the shore so close, in fact, that they can beach themselves looking for food. It’s also not uncommon in Panama to catch one of these trophy fish from the shore. 

The Roosterfish prefers the warmer water temperatures of the Pacific Ocean, it’s no surprise that Panama rooster fishing is among the best in the world. 

Rooster fish are great for light tackle anglers because they max out around 90 pounds, and average around 40 pounds. They fight hard like all the members of the jack family and Rooster fish eagerly attack lures and bait, 

In Panama we have the best success with live bait, we typically use blue runners in a circle 14/0 hook. When hooked you’ll see their impressive dorsal fin breaking the surface then the fight is on.  

The inshore grounds around the resort has some of the best rooster fishing in the region. If you want to have the best Panama Fishing experience of your life, come visit us at our resort Panama Nautical Club, located on Isla Boca Brava in the Gulf of Chiriqui. 

The photos below show the best rooster fish caught here during the 1st quarter of 2020.

We would really like to hear from you!
