Steve is hosting trips in Sept/Oct 2010 at this location and another for monster Lau Lau cats up to 150kg. Both trips are for 6 days of fishing, meals, charter flights, ground transfers and 2 nights lodging in Paramaribo. Cost in inexpensive for a trip such as this for $3200 and limited to 6 per week.

KLURES FOR PEACOCK BASS

Recently received som new fantastic peacock lures from Kermitt Adams of

http://www.klures.com/ These topwater lures are made of high quality wood and have a tremendous painting touch. Cannot wait to try these out on some grande peacock bass in January. The peacock rippers are topwater propeller lures which are made of quality hardwood and top of the line components. The hotdog is a zara spook type lure with rattles while the mega pop should really call some giant peacocks in. I highly recommend you try these out on your next peacock bass trip. Also, Kermitt makes some quality bass lures as well! Check them out on

PUMICE CREEK LODGE NEWS

Pumice Creek Lodge owner, Gary LaRose, notified me that he is extending his silver salmon season an additional 2 weeks in September. Pumice Creek is located on the Alaska Peninsula. Daily flyouts are to the Cinder River for silvers or Lava Creek for char. These are prime weeks for big numbers of big silvers. IN my opinion the Alaska Peninsula offers the best silver salmon fishing in a remote location bar none. Most Peninsula Lodges have a long waiting list during the prime weeks. Act now to get into this great fishing.
