2021 was another crazy year. Covid still has a few of my favorite destinations such as Australia and Papua New Guinea locked down. God willing, they will open to tourism soon so I can once again wet a line with friend Luke of Rock Expeditions for PNG bass and Giant Trevally. Luckily, I was able to go on some great fishing adventures in 2021. In June I went to PanaFishing Lodge which is locate in the town of Pedasi.
This was my first trip to Panama and won't be my last as already made a booking for June 2023. Here I battled giant Roosterfish, YellowFin Tuna, Jack Crevalles, and many other saltwater species.
Panama is very easy to get to and the residents are very friendly. In August I made by annual trip to Venice, LA to fish with Capt. Keith Kennedy. The bull redfish are usually in abundance and this trip was no different as Capt Keith put us on loads of big bulls. This is definately a trip all should consider. In November I ventured to French Polynesia to battle the king of the seas, The Giant Trevally. Here we caught numerous Giant Trevally and more huge Coral Trout than most land in a lifetime!!
The trip highly exceeded my expectations with the variety of species caught and the size. Definately a spot I will go back to. God willing 2022 will again be a very exciting year with trips planned to La Zona Lodge in Argentina for huge golden dorado, Jurassic Lake Lodge in Argentina for monster rainbow trout, Venice, LA to again battle bull reds with Keith Kennedy, The Seychelles to battle giant Dogtooth Tuna and Giant Trevally, Russia to seek the elusive taimen, and hopefully a few trips to Papua New Guinea to seek out PNG bass in the jungles and Giant Trevally out in the seas. God bless everyone and hope you have an exciting and healthy 2022!!
