Fishing in Bahia Solano in the Colombian Pacific Ocean

The magnificent Solano Bay, located in the north of Colombia, next to the border with Panama, is bathed throughout the year by various maritime currents, bringing to the coast an immense variety of large predatory fish that inhabit the waters of the Pacific. This factor, allied to the isolation and natural characteristics of the region, make this one of the best destinations in the world for sport fishing today.

With 10 minutes to an hour of navigation, the fisherman will already be in some of the best fishing spots in the region, according to the modality that he practices:

• Throwing fishing, by boat or on the coast, using poppers, mid-water lures and jig, to capture Braves, Tunas, Snapper, Robalos, Tarpon, Marlin, Roosterfish, among many other species.
• Deep vertical fishing, with metal jigs, for large Braves, Snapper, Tuna and Chernas, as well as other species.
• Trawling, for Blue Marlins and Black Marlins, Large Tunas, Sailfish, Dorados and Wahoos, among other fish.
• Fishing with live baits, to fish all surface or bottom species, such as Tunas, Roosterfish, Robalos, Tarpon, Snapper, Sailfish and Chernas, among others.
• Fly fishing, to fish from the coast, such as Robalos, Tarpon, Roosterfish, Snapper, among others, to the large Tunas and billfish, such as Marlins and Sailfish.

• Yellowfin tuna and Blackfin tuna attack and fishing frenzy

Extra costs not included in the package:

• Domestic air ticket Bogota – Bahia Solano: USD $200.oo approximately
• Important note about transportation to the starting location: Our expeditions begin at the indicated place according to the proposed itinerary. For this reason, in the vast majority we do not include in the price the value of the transfer (land or air) from your city of residence to the city where the expedition begins. If you have purchased an air or land ticket on your own to attend this expedition and the transport company (airline or land transportation company) cancels the trip or postpones it or if there are significant delays due to weather, technical aspects of the aircraft or vehicles, situations at airports, transport terminals or roads, pilots or drivers, etc., that prevent you from arriving at the start time of the expedition, these are considered risks inherent to the trip that the client assumes and in no case the unforeseen events of the client’s journey are transferred neither to the hotel nor to Ecoglobal Expeditions. It is very important that you understand that this is a situation in which Ecoglobal Expeditions has no responsibility. Remember that if you do not show up at the established time and date, without notifying us sufficiently in advance (please see the previous paragraph), this situation is considered a “No Show” and in principle we cannot give you any money refund, due to that we have carried out all the previous administrative and logistical work to guarantee the smooth development of the expedition (example: we have bought all the food for all the people, we have reserved accommodation and internal transportation, we have hired local guides, we have acquired insurance, we have reserved and paid permits to National Parks, etc.). It is also important that you keep in mind that in particular cases we do buy tickets for clients, at their express request. In this case Ecoglobal Expeditions acts as a facilitator and bridge between the client and the airline or ground transportation company that provides the service. This additional service that the operator offers does not hold it responsible at any time for delays in the itinerary caused by weather or other types of situations beyond the operator’s control. There is no contractual relationship between the operator and the client regarding this service.
