SALINAS

Santa Elena Peninsula, Ecuador

With dozens of past world records in almost every category in conventional and fly, Salinas has made history as a true offshore fishery. Large migrations of blue, black and striped marlin as well as yellowfin and big eye tuna migrate the continental shelf in search of food. Salinas could be thought of a feeding highway for big fish. The same black marlin that swam off of Cabo Blanco, Peru had to migrate through Salinas.

While the high numbers of fish that migrated in Salinas 20 years ago may not be as prevalent today, it still offers the opportunity of world class sport fishing when it turns on. The town has night life, restaurants and a shopping center nearby. Less than a 2 hour drive from the port city of Guayaquil makes getting to Salinas very easy. Guayaquil is less than 4 hours by plane from Miami.
