Tropic Star Lodge - Black, Blue and Striped Marlin abound in numbers unheard of elsewhere. Pacific Sailfish are there year-round, and from April through July multiple hookups are the rule rather than the exception. Dolphins are also caught all year long and average from 20 to 60 pounds.  Many people fish at Tropic Star Lodge to catch their record fish, also, they come to catch their first Black Marlin, Blue Marlin or other billfish. Our crews can help you as much or as little as you require. We issue beautiful certificates for those who catch their first billfish at the lodge.

Tropic Star Lodge holds over forty world records at the present time! The majority of these records are for black, blue, or striped marlin and Pacific sailfish. Most of the records at the Lodge were taken on light and ultra light line -- which is what Pinas Bay is recognized for throughout the World! Also, recently we have recorded over 23 Junior Angler World Records! Click the link for Tropic Star Lodge

Inshore there are amberjack, snapper, grouper, roosterfish, pompano, rainbow runner, mackerel, jack - the list keeps on going. THERE HAVE BEEN MORE I.G.F.A. WORLD RECORDS BROKEN IN PINAS BAY THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD -- over 170 World Records!  A typical fishing at Tropic Star day starts with catching bait and then bridling them up on circle hooks for a good soaking around the reef. Crews usually give the reef two or three hours to produce in the morning, and if the blacks don't show, they either head offshore to target blues, stripes or tunas or turn inshore to target the huge numbers of sails in the area. Black marlin here average 350 pounds, but 500- and 600-pounders are commonplace. (The first time I came down to the lodge, I watched light-tackle expert Raleigh Werking fight an estimated 600 pound black for over six hours on 16-pound test before eventually breaking off the fish because of darkness.)
