I hear Panama is a great place for Americans to retire
Was told they use the US Dollar as currency

Its going to be great. Supposed to be up to 100 fish Peacocks per day. No huge ones but some about #5.

There seem to be a pretty large number of americans retired there from what I saw. They do use US currency, just have different coinage but it is 1 for 1.
To the OP, I was there in March but didn't get to do any Peacock fishing. Make sure you enjoy the fruit (it's amazing, especially the little tree-ripened bananas) and I would stay away from cities like Colon.

When we were fishing there....It was not uncommon at all to catch near 100 in only a few hours...we would fish from early morning until around noon and come back with 20-30 keepers, keepers, not everything we caught...good hard fighting fish...very very tasty too!! Kingfish we were there from 87-90 during the Noriega ordeal...we were on Davis

Not for Peackocks but if you ever want to go on the greatest and most reasonably priced blue water excursion, look no further than Tropic Star Lodge. 5 star all the way.

Tropic star lodge is deffinately the number one resort there bar none!!!
Politicians, baseball players, high-powered corporate CEO's they all seem to eventually let us down. Nature, however, does not. Look to her for inspiration and you will learn the secrets to living a good life. The most Important lesson it would seem is to make sure you spend as much time fishing as anything else.

If you are peacock fishing why not the Amazon?
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.
