Here is a shot of the Rancho on our property!

This is Johnny hoffman..Brazilian Fishing T.V. host...classic!!

This is a shot of the house...which is around 70% complete

This is a shot taken from the boat in the estuary looking at the property with the house middle left and you can see the access road as well.

This is a shot from the Ocean looking at the property. If you can see the Red Line it marks the rough boundaries of our piece!

This is a shot of me finally getting a quality fish on Popper!

This is a shot of my first Rooster on Popper!!! Thanks to Chad at Paradise Lodge!!

This is a shot of our friend from South Africa Gideon who is a nut job surfer and this day was the "real deal" out there..

This is another shot of that day...triple overhead and Scary!! but beautiful with not a drop of water out of place!

Will post some more soon!

As always, thanks for looking!

Yeah Curtis.......just what the doctor ordered. Been waiting for a Panama fix from you for awhile. Boomer is headed to Panama for 3 months......leaving on Friday. Will most likely be there for 3 months. Hope to get down there in January. We hope to stay with Chad a few times if he has room. Hope all is going well.

Thanks Matt, tried calling JT..he was at the fuel dock with Maximo and said he would call me back...HAHAHAHAH!

No biggie...Give me the scoop and keep me in the loop, I am on a job that ends right at Christmas, might have some time in beggining of January. You guys gotta swing by the property.

I just stumbled upon this thread and I have to say it is an absolutely amazing story to follow. Could be a book!

Thanks Curtis and everyone else for the efforts in keeping it alive.

Truly amazing. I hope there is more written, in hindsight, present, and foresight. It is an education that many of us will only read about in our lifetime so please ... continue.

With much anticipation and gratitude.

Nice thread Curtis. I remember seeing it back in the summer and couldn't find it again till now. Keep us posted. You are doing what I would love to do and that is move where it is warm year round. Stopped in Panama for a day last year coming back from Ecuador. It is a beautiful country. I was supposed to have gone fishing back in January at the panama big game club with some friends. How far are you from there? They flew into David then took a boat down a river to the lodge.
