update

This is Fernando from Spain with a nice African Pompano!


Fernando again with a nice 50lb YFT caught on a popper!


Another one of Fernando with a BIG 60lb Roosterfish caught on a live Bonito!


This is the small port in Pedregal near David with the Time out and the Atlantis which are privately owned by panamanian boats...nice ones at that!


The guys from Spain cooked this up one night...pretty darn good it was.

Well it was a quick trip to Panama City as I left on sunday mid day and then ended up meeting with Gary Saavedra my good friend and pro surfer from Panama on monday morning. He took me all over the city and we talked to friends of his who own used car lots. The 4 door hilux trucks are impossible to get a good deal on because the new ones are made in Argentina and not Japan anymore..OUCH!! Also many people come from Costa Rica to buy them because the import tax in Costa Rica is 100% from the U.S. and even overpriced the trucks here are a way better deal. So after a few hours of tireless 14K trucks that are worth 8K searching we finally settled on a 1995 Toyota Tacoma 4cyl 4x4 regular cab which odly enough came from Pennsylvania..hahah



Anyway the truck is in 9 out of 10 condition and all the effort paid off. Another obstacle down and many more to deal with daily. We did get some of the rock up the road but alas it is raining pretty hard today...so as most of you are learning now as well "tommorow".



Here are some pictures from the last few days....Enjoy
