Based on all the requests to run another trip, We have put together another guided expedition to Panama for this April as it is prime tuna season and I was able to book the lodge during an excellent moon phase. This is the same time of the year as the first trip to Panama with Kil in April of 2009.
We ran a very successful trip to Panama this past December, it was our third trip in country in less than a year ([url "http://www.360tuna.com/forum/f76/tacklenow-com-guided-expedition-panama-7888/"]http://www.360tuna.com/forum/f76/tacklenow-com-guided-expedition-panama-7888/[/url]) and want to get back there ASAP.
We have 3 Anglers signed up with money on the table - two of whom are cert. divers - so we are planning a dive option on day three at the lodge (Wed) this will be a nice way to break up the fishing and dive the waters close to the world park in Cohiba Island. If you don't SCUBA but want to free dive that is fine but no spear fishing is allowed.
We have reserved the 2 35ft ers and the 29 Stamas for this trip (Captains Macho, Sergio and Ralpilito)
This trip takes you to pristine and unspoiled destinations where you will really have the chance for a fish of the lifetime. It’s not a claque; we regularly and consistently put our customers “on the fish”. This will be our FOURTH trip to Panama in 12 months.
For these new to Popping / Jigging we are here before, during and after the trip to lend assistance with tackles, leaders, knots, rigging, lure selection, etc.
The Lodge has a good array of tackle and its all new or newer - there is no need to bring tackle - just our own lures and of course if you have rods bring them.
We know where to go in Panama to have a good time and keep the group safe, myself and my partner speak enough Spanish to avoid the vig and tourist traps. Further we have a fantastic relationship with the owners at Hotel Venento and Panama Sportfishing Lodge. You'll be treated like a king - the service is really good, fishing outstanding and the price is reasonable.
