Unlike many of the "fishing operations" in Bocas we want to catch fish. At Red Frog Bungalows we fish with the locals. Paris,
pictured below, is your local guide. He was born and raised in Bastimentos and has been fishing his whole lfe. There is noboby better in the business.
He prefers to fish with live bait. Sprat is a term for a small schooling fish and Paris will go out before you arrive and prowl the local shores for sprat. He is a master with a castnet. Once enough sprat has been caught he will return to greet you at the 
dock. Then it is off to do some catching. We are rarely denied. He provide handlines. We do not use rods and reels. If you would like to bring your own it is not a problem. Then is no greater feeling than getting a big Kingfish on a handline and then having our chefs prepare it for you for dinner.
The remote western Caribbean coast of Panama is wild and undeveloped, 
which is exactly what makes fishing these waters so remarkable. The waters surrounding Red Frog Bungalows are estuaries, flats, rivers and offshore waters. Most of the areas fished are protected reserves. Tarpon, Snook, Bonefish, Jack Trevalle, Barracuda, Tuna, Wahoo, King Mackerel, snappers, and groupers are just a few of the fish that inhabit these reserves. Offshore, seasonal runs include 
Yellowfin, Blackfin, and Bigeye Tuna, Wahoo, Kingfish and big Yellowtail Snapper. Resident bottom fish in these waters consist of various grouper species, and snapper including Cuberas, Grays, Dogs, Blacks and Muttons. Whale Sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles are sometimes spotted in these pristine waters. The fishing in Bocas del Toro is not world class nor world famous but we have our days.
