We got home from our fifth trip to Sport Fish Panama Island Lodge at 1:30 this morning. I haven’t even unpacked yet (except for the Yeti cooler full of yellowfin fillets that went straight into our freezer) but I’m still on a high. We had a fantastic group of 20 anglers, calm seas, great multispecies action, and incredible service. Some of our traveling party who were traveling through Atlanta got waylaid by the southeast’s snowpocalypse, but fortunately they all seemed to take it in good spirits.

I’m probably starting to sound like a broken record by this point, but it bears repeating that if you are looking for a bucket list fishing trip this is one you must consider. If you’re a hard core bass angler, it’s the best topwater fishing you can possibly imagine. If you’re a novice but love great scenery and want to catch a bunch of different species, this is the place to do it. It’s safe, and while it’s not inexpensive, it’s a solid value. We won’t be heading back until the spring of 2025, so that gives you plenty of time to save if you want to join us on a hosted trip. If you can’t wait that long, we’re happy to send you down before then. Either way, just shoot us an email so you don’t miss out.

We’ll be posting more detailed content about the trip in the coming days. In the meantime, enjoy some pictures. If they don’t whet your appetite, you’re either a non-angler or have no pulse.
