I traveled to Columbia, Bahia Solano with numerous friends from Argentina. The trip was arranged by friend, Javi Koller of Travel Fishing out of Buenos Aires. We fished for 5 1/2 days targeting giant Yellowfin Tuna. On May 20th, I flew on COPA Airlines out of Chicago to Panama City then onward to Medellin. Here, I would meet up with 14 friends from Argentina including Javi. I spent a few nights at a nice hotel enjoying the Medellin nightlife. On May 23, we flew on Moon Air to Bahia Solano. We immediately started fishing. Javi organized 4 boats for the group. The majority of guys had fished here before. Javi supplies everything. The accomadations and meals were 5 star. The tuna fishing was on fire the entire trip with a few exceeding 150lbs for each boat.
Tuna are extremely strong and we battled a 170lbs for 1 hour and 23 minutes before putting it in the boat. One day the seas were rough so we fished inshore.
We caught a few roosterfish, Jack's, Mahi Mahi, and mackerel. On our last day on the last cast we landed the largest tuna for the stay, a giant estimated at 200 lbs.
The majority of the tuna were landed on live bait and Sebile Stick Shadds and a few on poppers.
My arms and shoulders are still sore and cannot wait to return next May. Join us for a fantastic experience. Contact Javi Koller or contact me for more information.
