Panama Fishing Report - January 14 to 21, 2012
Another great week of fishing at Tropic Star Lodge. Although bait was a little hard to come by on the reef, the crews picked up the Marlin candies offshore. There was plenty of Skipjacks and small Yellowfin Tunas and everyone who fishes this area knows that any of these baits behind the boat is a sure shot at a big marlin. Quite a few 500-600 lb marlin were released and the sailfish bite continues to be excellent. We are also catching the Big Yellowfin Tunas and some Huge Dorado as well. Lots of action on the edge. Inshore is beginning to pick up as well and a few anglers had great luck with Cubera Snapper. The dry season is in full swing now and the drags are burning.
One of our highlights of the week was 11 year old Cameron Hunter who came to the lodge with his parents and Grandparents. Cameron released his first Pacific Blue Marlin estimated at 400 lbs and also released his first Pacific Sailfish. Add to that lots of dorado and some midsized tunas. We always enjoy seeing the next generation of angler catch em? up. His mom Anna also released her first Black Marlin estimated at 500+ lbs. Daddy Cole scored his first Black Marlin as well, a 500 lb beast. Together the family of five has a trip of a lifetime releasing 5 Marlin and a bunch of Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado.
Jay Richards released the biggest fish for the week; his first Pacific Blue Marlin estimated at 600 lbs and also released his first Black Marlin that went 450 lbs. Congratulation on your fish of a lifetime. Mike Lipari had great luck last week, releasing his first Black Marlin estimated at 500 lbs and Gaspare Lipari released his first Pacific Sailfish around 100 lbs. Rich Morey for his first Black Marlin estimated at 450 lbs and Pacific Sailfish estimated at 100 lbs. Frank Messina was also blessed with his first Pacific Blue Marlin estimated at 450 lbs and also released the biggest sail for the week; a giant what went 150+ lbs. David Burris also scored his first Pacific Blue Marlin estimated at 400 lbs.

Global Wetting
Oh the weather. Mother nature has a way of letting us know who is boss. She has been giving us the one, two punch combo for a couple of weeks now. If it is not raining it is blowing and when it stops blowing it starts raining. Ahhhhhhh......... global wetting.
Richard in action with the reef barely visible in the background.
Perry showing the proper way to cast in a tropical down pour. Notice you can not see the reef.
A small Bluefin Trevally.
Needless to say I have not been out much. I do not mind a little wind or rain but there comes a point when enough is enough.
Take for instance our last session out with Richard and his brother in-law Perry.
The plan was for us to fish on Thursday. A little heavy tackle a little light tackle, catch a few fish, have a good time.
I am up at 5am and head down to the water to see the conditions. Looks ok, but a little rough in the channel. I call Richard at around 6am and he says we go for it.
We load up the boat and head out.
It does not take long for the weather to head south on us and before we know it, everyone is wet from the rain. Credit must be given to Richard and Perry as they persevered in the wet and continued to fish.

We were soon chased inside the reef as it got too rough and the wind was howling. Once inside we switched to lighter tackle and calmer waters. It was still tough going and in the end only one fish was brought to the boat.

We gave it our best shoot and stayed out until our underwear were wet. At that point I had to call it quits and Richard and Perry had to head of to the airport.
Our trip home was interesting. Zero visibility, driving rain and rough seas. Thank Garmin for GPS.

New opportunities to release an IGFA record fish in 2011

An Angling Wish List for 2012
Every year that we fish is a good year.� It’s tough to be cynical about any year that offers quality angling.� Still, there’s always that missed fish, missed hatch, or squandered angling opportunity.� Any fly fisher who spends� a minute on piscatorial reflection will uncover missed angling opportunities from the past year.

Options in the face of legislative unrest, or how to avoid becoming an unwilling economic patriot
After a couple of decades on studded Weinbrenner?s, the felt sole started slipping off. Disappointing but understandable given I had used the boots hard over many seasons.
