The gates, weighing as much as 700 elephants each, opened slowly like the entrance to King Kong’s Village. I’d come with my crew to spend a week at the aptly named Hooked on Panama Lodge. A week of intense sport punctuated by guilt free napping, fresh homemade food, cold drinks and people as warm as the tropical sun to help enjoy it all.
We had Larry Searles, Richard Little, Mervin Ward and Jim Jensen down with us for 3 days of fishing. They were fishing with Captain Chaka and Mate Carlos.
We had Bob Linder from Texas and his group of 8 fishing buddies fishing with us for three days. This was Bob and Fred’s second season fishing with us.
Vann and Taylor Cleveland from Atlanta Georgia fished with Captain Chaka and Mate Carlos. During their trip they released 8 sails, with twice as many missed, 4 dorado’s estimated over 35lbs.
Ron Winter and his group of 7 anglers from California fished with us for 3 days. They fished on the Miss Baru with Captain Oliver and Mate Carlito and on La Chiricana with Captain Victor and Mate Jacinto. It was three days of dorado madness.
We had Kirk Sieber, Fred Spiker and Greg Sandoz here for their 5th year in a row with us. It’s always fun when the Louisiana men show up, nothing but good times here at the lodge. Just wish they would bring me some budan!
