After a time of bad weather and slow fishing, the weather has improved, and the fishing is RED HOT!!

In the last 5 days the following fishing activities have occurred.

Kurt Kieradtka visited Rio Colorado Lodge from Panama. His first 2 days he chose to surf fish for snook. The surf was a bit rough and after 2 days of the waves beating his down, and no snook, he chose on day three to go out into the Caribbean and do a little fishing just outside the mouth. He boated 4 tarpon for 4 hook-ups and had had enough. The next 2 days he decided to go back to the surf. He caught several snook, one about 28 lbs,and very possibly a record Jack weighing 61lbs.
