My fiancé and I booked a week-long ocean kayak fishing trip at Los Buzos with Robert Field for my 60th birthday as a way to thumb my nose at getting old—and it delivered in every possible way.
My fiancé and I are experienced kayak anglers, but ocean fishing was new territory for us. I went in with realistic expectations, though I’ll admit I hoped for a roosterfish and a cubera snapper. After meeting a few anglers returning from their week at the resort the night before we arrived, the anticipation really kicked in—and the trip still exceeded it.
Los Buzos is a haul from Panama City, but the drive is scenic and well worth it. The resort itself is tucked into a stunning, remote stretch of coastline—quiet, beautiful, and thoughtfully run. The staff were consistently friendly and attentive. Daily breakfasts and packed lunches were generous (often more than I could finish), and dinners were prepared fresh each night from our catch. Sashimi starters, perfectly prepared fish dishes, and hands-down the best Sierra mackerel I’ve ever eaten.
Our group included six anglers from around the world, and by the end of the week we felt like old friends. On the water, Robert was exactly what you want in a guide: knowledgeable, encouraging, calm, and fully engaged. With help from Gallo and Pedro, we were well supported every day. I caught everything I’d hoped for—and then some.
Great fishing, great food, great people, and memories that will last until our next trip back. Los Buzos isn’t just a fishing destination—it’s an experience done right.
