The lodge is beautiful and in an incredible setting, the people are friendly and helpful. The fishing here is very hit and miss, they are located on the inshore islands not the Hannibal Bank and not on Coiba Island on a good day they could get us to the edge of the bank or Coiba in 2+ hours. The currents... More

Sean Thank you for your review and your kind comments regarding the lodge and my staff. I do have some issues with your comments regarding the fishing though, our high season is Jan - April 13th which is why we charge more, you fished in our LOW season, which can also produce huge tuna and you have a 50/50 chance...

My son and I fished at the lodge for his spring break. While the fishing was a bit slower than normal, everything else about this place was outstanding. The accommodations, food, booze, captains, mates, and other staff were simply the best and did everything possible to make our stay the best it could be. We never asked for anything twice,... More

A friend and i stayed at PBGFC for 6 days from april 5th to the 11th. The vip service as soon as we landed was excellent and it literally took us less than 3 minutes to get through customs etc. We then took our short flight to David and were greeted by Victor and Capt Scott. So far everything was... More

Sorry for late response but is no reflection on the superior quality of our experience at PBGFC. My father and I had a great time at this top level lodge. Our travel through the country with VIP service was the best I have experienced in a foreign country (a private trip to the Panama Canal was even arranged). The renovations... More

Could not have been a better trip. The improvements to the resort are excellent. We did not see the need for a pool but that atitude has changed 100%. Getting in at 5:00 PM and going to the pool for an hour makes the experience even better. The food was, as usual, excellent but unfotunately I gained 5 lbs which... More

Well I just can't express how much Capt Lee and his staff bent over backwards for you. The accomidations were nothing but fantastic, all completely remodeld and clean. The food was just out of this world, it was as if you were at a 5 star resturant, with the open bar. I recommend PBGFC to all who would like to... More

I have fished different areas of Panama and Panama Big game by far has the most diverse fishery in the country. I cannot say enough about how well Capt Lee and Capt Scott made our experience second to none. The food and drinks by Capt Lee and Victor was like being at a 5 star restaurant and Capt Scott and...

Just experienced the trip of a lifetime at Panama Big Game Fishing Club. Excelent fishing, great accomodations and top of the line food, better than a cruise ship. Every employee of this organization gives 110% all the time. Dave Hunter Reading Pennsylvania

Capt. Lee and staff did an excellent job taking care of my husband and I from the second we landed in Panama City. The resort was recently renovated with new finishes and a pool/spa. However, it is still a bit rough around the edges given it's relatively remote location. The movies only worked sometimes and the water temperature control was... More
