i recen tly returned from my first east cape panga fishing adventure. myself and 9 others hooked up with jonathan from "tailhunters" and had a wonderful time fishing and partying. we received a beyond excellent level of service from "tailhunters". many fish and it was easy,all live bait inshore fishing for me, others went further for dorado. we caught lots of fish, many new species for me-pargo, cabrilla, palmetto, roosterfish, yellowtail in addition to all the other "junk" fish, which i enjoy also.
some others brought in sailfish-they said it died, wahoo, toro and amberjack.
