Yvonne Buckley caught her 100th Marlin at the Tropic Star Lodge in Panama Tropic Star's very own stand-up tackle Marlin angler, Yvonne Buckley, along with her trainer, coach, photographer and husband, Richard Buckley, just reached a milestone achievement that would be envied by serious anglers anywhere in the world. One hundred marlin on stand up gear is no longer a lonely number when it comes to Yvonne and her tenacity for billfishing at TSL.

Fishing Highlights - Jan 14-21

Another great week of fishing at TSL. Although bait was a little hard to come by on the reef, the crews picked up the Marlin candies offshore. There was plenty of Skipjacks and small Yellowfin Tunas and everyone who fishes this area knows that any of these baits behind the boat is a sure shot at a big marlin. Quite a few 500-600 lb fish were released and the sailfish bite continues to be excellent. We are also catching the Big Yellowfin Tunas and some Huge Dorado as well. Lots of action on the edge. Inshore is beginning to pick up as well and a few anglers had great luck with Cubera Snapper. The dry season is in full swing now and the drags are burning.

Underwater Giant

While on a trip to Tropic Star Lodge in early July, Adrian Gray got the opportunity to jump overboard and get up close and personal with Raleigh Werking's 550 pound Black Marlin. They sure do light up pretty when they want to...
