Where: Panama
February leads the way to great angling opportunities in Panama, with the famed Tropic Star Lodge in Piñas Bay offering some of the most consistent black marlin fishing anywhere in the world. Captains fish with live bait around the famous Zane Grey Reef for blacks and then target blue and striped marlin out wide with lures or dead bait to give anglers a fantastic opportunity to catch a grand slam.
