Panama - Paradise Lodge

Thanks for selecting Trek Safaris as your agent to book your fishing trip to Panama and the Paradise Lodge. Panama, even the name means "abundance of fish", so aptly named. Whether you are looking for great mixed bag fishing for rooster fish, grouper and toothy cuberra snapper, or wish to test your skill, and strength on landing a triple digit sized yellow fin tuna or grander marlin, Panama has a program for you.

Panama City is easily reached as all U.S. carriers offer daily service. Upon arrival into Panama City, our VIP services will meet your flight and whisk you out of the airport for the 4.5 hour scenic drive to the Panama Paradise Lodge. Arrangements can also be made to fly you commercially from Panama City to the town of David, just 90 minutes from the lodge.

Lodge owner Chad Marquis will be on hand to greet your arrival and get you squared away in your room and outline the schedules for the next weeks fishing. As the inshore fishing here is so strong and close to the lodge, Chad utilizes a fleet of 27ft Contenders. The ability to fish all around the boat is perfect when angling to these species. Even if you opt to head out to the Hannibal Banks for marlin and monster yellow fin, the ocean here is very calm and the ride is comfortable.

Chad constructed this lodge from the ground up and picked the perfect hill side on which to build his place as all rooms as well as pool/ bar area and restaurant have an unobstructed view of the surrounding hills and the beautiful Pacific as well as the small islands that dot the nearby coastline. Also, the perfect view point for the majestic sunsets each evening.

The prime bill fish season is from December-May, but there is so much more to this program than just sails and marlin and these other species are present just about year round, so, there is no bad time to travel.

Panama has so much to offer and perfect for trip extensions to spend time in Panama City to visit the Canal, or spend a day on Lake Gatun and catch all the feisty peacock bass you can handle.
