Tropic Star Lodge
Tropic Star Specilaizes in catching huge Game fish in Panama and has filmed and taken photos of some of the most popular big game fishing content online. Tropic Star Lodge has provided the ultimate in offshore and inshore fishing adventures for our guests for the past 50 years. We invite you to discover why we’ve been named “the best fishing resort in the world.”









Tropic Star Lodge is a veritable paradise cut out of the side of a mountain at the edge of the Darien Jungle on the Pacific coast of Panama, a superstar among the world’s big-game fishing destinations. Piñas Bay, Panama offers some of the world's most popular game fish including Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Pacific Sailfish, Wahoo, Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, Grouper, Roosterfish, Snapper and Almaco Jack. All species of billfish and non-billfish can be caught year-round in the pristine waters off Piñas Bay. The prime Black Marlin season runs from December into April. The Pacific Sailfish start moving in April through June. July brings another run of Marlin; many in the five hundred pound range. Most of our fishing is done six to fifteen miles offshore in calm waters. In late January and February the north wind brings the cooler water and tailing Marlin. That’s the only time it can get a bit bumpy. Our fleet of 31’ foot Bertram’s is the perfect boat for fishing at Piñas Bay. The word "Panama" means "an abundance of fish". Piñas Bay truly lives up to this meaning. In the waters around the Lodge, you can catch Dolphin, Yellowfin Tuna, Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Rainbow Runner, and Mackerel. We catch a few "Pacific" tarpon (which made the trip through the canal) every year in the 50 to 100 pound range. Black Marlin, Blue Marlin and Sailfish, can be caught “right outside our front door," making this a truly unique location. read more

The Secrets of Trolling Lures

The Secrets of Trolling lures for big game fish. A very good friend of mine and a great teacher, Hawaiian Capt. Mike Rand, once said to me, “Marlin fishing is a simple thing that we make complicated, only to realize just how simple it is.” No truer words have been spoke As an avid fisherman and lure maker, I made it my goal to understand how to be more successful when trolling for billfish, and then use that insight to help make lures that produce the best possible results. I’ve been lucky enough to fish in some of the best lure fisheries in the world and to learn from some of the best lure makers and captains in these places. I combined their experience with my own ideas, gained from my time running boats, working cockpits and designing and making lures. There are many theories regarding lure fishing that get bandied about, some of which just provide food for thought and others that seem to actually make a difference out on the water. However, some would argue that the practice of t...
