We get these questions a lot. Which month is best for Panama City? Do you need a fishing license to fish in Panama City? What is the most popular fish in Panama? The best month to visit Panama City is typically April, when the weather is warm and dry, with average temperatures ranging from 75-85°F (24-29°C), offering ideal conditions for sightseeing, outdoor activities, and enjoying the beautiful beaches. In Panama City and throughout the country, a fishing license is required for both recreational and commercial fishing, which can be obtained through the Aquatic Resources Authority of Panama (ARAP) online or in person at their offices. It's important to check for updates in regulations before your trip. The most popular fish in Panama is the Corvina, also known as the White Sea Bass, which is highly sought after for its firm, white, and flavorful meat. Found in both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Panama, Corvina plays a significant role in the country's cuisine and is enjoyed in various dishes, including ceviche, a traditional Panamanian seafood dish prepared with fresh fish, lime juice, onions, and spices.
