One of our customers just returned from Panama and sent me these pics of the fish he caught on our Tuna Hunter poppers. Based on all of the reports and the number of lures that I send down there, Panama is Mecca for popper fishing. I can't wait to get down there.
I am going to spend a couple of weeks in June down there. Do you know any good boats that I can charter without doing the 'package deal' thang? I am going to try to fish out of Contadora (Isla perlas), Playa Blanca, Pedasi, and Santa Catalina. I got a ton of poppers and other stuff to take.
Bio: I am retired and wander around fishing here and there. I lived in Central America for 10 yrs mostly in Costa Rica and also in MX for a few years and South America for a couple. I got tired of the third world rat race and am now back in San Fran.

Get a hold of Paradise lodge in Panama and fish with Chad. He can be very informal and it is not a package deal charter like a lot of other places. Tell him what you want and he will work with you. Good luck Paradise Fishing Lodge; chad@paradisefishing.net
