ooked on Panama is a
family operated fishing
lodge located in Punta
Burica, a small town 17 km south
of Puerto Armuelles. Situated on
the Costa Rican border, the lodge
offers 3000 square feet of lush
tropical beachfront, a wealth of
wildlife, access to empty surf
breaks and some of the best
deep-sea fishing in the world. The
country’s best known fishing
destinations, Hannibal Bank, Isla
Montuosa, Isla Ladrones and the
1000 Fathom Drop are only a short
boat ride away from the lodge.
In 2004, brothers, Mike and Dan
Peavy and their father Don
purchased the 20 hectares of
beachfront in the sleepy town of
Punta Burica. Nautical charts for
the region showed some of the
best surfing and fishing in
Panama. For about 2 years, the
two brothers and their father
worked together to create plans for
the lodge, where they themselves
would like to stay and play.
Construction began in 2006, 2
years before the road to Punta
Burica was built. Without a road, all

While things were coming together
at the lodge, Mike and Dan were
combing the southeastern US,
looking for a boat builder to build
their fleet. Little did they know their
boat builder was already in
Panama. Dan says, “We really
lucked out when we met Rex and
Connie Hudson.”
Rex and Connie Hudson were
living in Puerto Armuelles at the
time, just 17 km from Punta Burica,
where the Peavy family was
building the lodge. The Hudsons
were running a small fishing
operation in Panama. They were
also the owners of a boat building
business in Texas called Shallow
Sport Boats, before turning it over
to their son, Wes Hudson.
Since The Peavy family was
already building the lodge and Rex
was building boats, the two
families thought instead of being
competitors why not become
partners?
With 58 years of family experience
in manufacturing fiberglass boats,
the Hudson’s built a fleet of 3-36’

The lodge offers ten cabins with 2
queen beds, and free Wi-Fi
throughout. All of the cabins have
an ocean view, private bathroom,
hot water and AC. While the rooms
are clean and cozy, most of your
time will likely be spent on one of
the custom-built sports fishers, or
at the dinner table enjoying the
catch of the day!
April and May are great months for
fishing on the Pacific Coast; they
offer ample opportunity to catch
billfish (Blue Marlin, Black Marlin
and Sailfish) and bring forth the
start of the tuna season. Recently
at the lodge anglers have been
pulling up Giant Yellowfin Tuna, a
couple of them weighing up to 200
lbs! If it’s a trophy Marlin you’re
after, you’ll be happy to know the
big ones are definitely biting.
Puerto Armulles is about a 6 hours
drive from the Coronado area.
Currently the road is being
widened to 4 lanes from the Paso
Canoas
boarder
to
Puerto
Armulles and, the road to the lodge
from Puerto is being paved as you
