63 degrees and a STRONG wind blowing in La Paz.
Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel!

Is it possible to pick up a concrete block house and move it farther south? If this pattern of cold weather, cold water and lack of surf persists we
may move ourselves to other horizons so we can enjoy our activities while we have some flexibility remaining. Nobody ever warned me that when
you start getting old, it happens fast! Bring on the Niņo. |
oladuce, I am planning on a few extra bedrooms in mi Panama casa to accomodate frostbitten BajaNomads from Baja Sur.
Come enjoy the heat..and FISHING!
|
Panama is good for government subsidized programsfor immigrants, the dollar used as currency, and weather that doesn't ever change.
Just wondering, inasmuch as you are planning to live there, whether you chose to be in the highlands, or on one of the coasts.
|
Bajahowodd, my first choice for any home is always nearest the body of water that offers the best fishing and boating
opportunities..so for me, the NW Pacific coast of Panama is my destination.
Golfo de Chiriqui is a premier Big Game fishing destination in the world, and has over 200 IGFA world records. My place will be on the shore
within an hours run to Coiba & the Hannibal Bank, which provides legendary fishing. That whole area around Hannibal Bank reminds me of the
'Golden Age of Baja Fishing'..except that Panama is actively involved in preserving and enhancing their fishing....and unlike Mexico, actually
police & enforce their commercial fishing regulations.
Oladulce, you might like Panama's two different climates. Coastal and the high mountains.
Coastal living can be hot (90+F) mountain living could mean needing to light a fire at night.(60F)That's the beauty of Panama - whatever climate you
want - it has it. To be honest, I would not live on the coast unless I was right at water's edge. No Pre-Dawn shivers, for sure! Further inland and
low elevations?...Panama City? forget it. Why go where it's hot, humid, and crowded?
But it's beautiful in the mountains...especially the northern parts. Highest is over 11,000 ft. If the fishing goes slow, or it's too humid at times
on the northwest coast, a modest cabin in the mountains would be a good escape. Nice daytime temps to 70-75, down to 40-50 at night...depending on
the elevations. Definetely sweater time at night..and a roaring fireplace. Plus lots of wildlife...but don't bring your shotgun or rifle. Hunting
ops are extremely rare. Most species are ultra-protected in Panama, plus it's a real pain the burro to import a firearm...and if you did, someone
would steal it. 
Per my love of fishing, I doubt I'll be re-selling, but it's also reassuring to know that Panama is a very popular investment country.
And to put some frosting on the cake..the bay, river, and inland fishing is vunderbar.
Flyfishing or ultra-lite spinning?
48.5 lb record snook (robalo) I intend to catch this big boy's .... big brother.
Try tarpon Bayano River & estuaries...and lots of other spots.
Snook, peac-ck bass, tarpon...you name it.
Mag Bay in Baja Sur has a bit of this, too...just not as much in size, abundance, and variety.
Yeah, Panama means great fishing and few Pre-Dawn shivers....But all-in-all, nothing will ever quite compare to all the other delights that make
up ...BAJA SUR. SALUD!

Pompano, you might look on the Caribbean side, my friend had a home on a small island near Bocas Del Toro, a 20 minute boat ride to town, he loved the
location and people, well until his wife hooked up with one of the hired help. JH

Roger- I had a great experience roaming around the west coast of Panama for 2 weeks on a coral research ship as ship's doctor. We were diving and
fishing every day assessing the changes in the reefs. We stopped at Coiba island to visit a private research station. It was a Smithsonian ship and
the research group was from Miami U. You will love it, keep us posted on how it goes.

Panama looks and sounds great Pompano. Hope you have many wonderful times there. Careful with the invitations though, we've been known to show up on a
doorstep
