Caribbean?

Jay Burgess:
Was watching a doco on TV about the caribbean sea. Barrier reef there looks aweseome and it got me thinking, do people pop there? I know you don't get GTs in the pacific but are there other reef ooglies that will smash a popper?

Brandon Khoo:
I want to catch a Roosterfish!!

Scott Maybury:
Yeah how awesome do those roosterfish look??

I was thinking of trying to organise a trip to Panama next year to fish for species including them, but think I will have to limit myself to Fiji and Bugatti instead

Brandon Khoo:
it comes down to how far you want to stretch your fishing dollar.
That's why I said initially that if your choice was Fiji AND Bugatti or one Diamond Islet, easy choice!

Bruce Kievit:
Hello, I just joined this board a few weeks ago.  I found the Nomad website by chance a few months ago and am hopeful that maybe I can do a trip with them some time next year. This website has been great for learning more about fishing in that part of the world. I live about twenty miles from New York City and have taken a few trips down to Panama the last few years.  Casting poppers for roosters and cubera snappers is great fun, and they also do pretty well casting them for yellowfin tuna.  Other inshore species that will take poppers include bluefin trevalley and jack crevalle. The outfit I've fished with is called Pesca Panama and it is a mothership operation that works the Pacific coast around Coiba Island.  Another well known operation is Tropic Star.
