"El Niño had the offshore water much too cold, so the bait, sailfish and marlin were absent. We could not have cared less. We concentrated on working the shore line, trolling big lures, throwing big plugs into the rocks and the fishing was fantastic! Outside of  rain 4 of the 6 and half days, it couldn't have been a better trip. Tropic Star is beautiful, and just gets better every year! If you haven't fished there, you owe yourself a trip" .... Wayne Sandlin

"My son, my grandson and I had an enjoyable fishing adventure at the Tropic Star Resort. The facilities, equipment and your personnel in Panama were all first class'"...Thomas G Sander

"Just got back last night from probably the greatest fishing destination on earth, Tropic Star Lodge in Panama. I've never been to or fished a place this incredible in my life".....Ryan Needler

"As a small child I watched the movie “The Old Man in the Sea”.  Since that time my dream was to catch a marlin! Visiting with the other guests word soon got out this is #1 on my bucket list and had waited over 50 yrs to fulfill.  I am also a cancer survivor.  Every one rallied around me! The TSL staff and  guests  made this the most spectacular trip of a lifetime! TSL is the best place ever!!"...... Beth Williams
"Our trip last month was far beyond our expectations, Tropic Star is a top-notch operation; I have never been so well-taken care of, from the booking process, response to all my dumb questions, and throughout the trip-absolutely exceptional! Thanks to all of the TSL family and their efforts to make the trip absolutely perfect!".....Scott Smith

"It was a wonderful trip. Thank you, Paul, and everyone there for the tremendous time.".... Dick (Richard E. Dodge)

"The staff, the place and above all my Crew were simply amazing! I may not have been the most important guest Tropic star had that week but you wouldn't have been able to tell as I was treated with the same respect as each and every guest there.  In my experience that's rare when it comes to the rich and famous.......Thanks again and I loved it more than you'll ever know".....Ken Eberhardt

"..thank you and the TSL staff for the great time y'all showed me, my son Brent, and son in law Chuck...The fishing was off the charts and that was great, but the warm welcome from everyone, the joint birthday cake with you, and the overwhelming hospitality was simply special. Each time I visit TSL I try not to expect it to be better than the last time, but so far, you folks just keep exceeding my wildest expectations. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and I will see you again soon."............Tio Vic Roy
