I went there in my navy days (on 3 counter narcotics deployments) You have to fish freshwater for peacock bass in lake Gatun. We took a very economical charter there ($40 a person) in small bass boats, using shiners and caught a lot peacock bass. They filleted the fish for us and then took us back to the restaurant the family owns and fried the fish up various ways. was very good.

Also we took a charter for Mahi-mahi there as well, they called them El-dorado though. It was about 6 years ago, and I have no idea what the name of the charter was. I actually like the fishing out of Costa Rica better. We took a charter there from a small town called Gulfito. There is a cool open air sports bar restaurant there where the guy will cook any fish you bring in on a huge stone outdoor grill, and make fish tacos and such. We also drank a TON of rum down there.. LOL.. you can pick it up in any grocery store in a bundle pack taped right to a liter of cola.
