Fellow Anglers,
Superb blue marlin bite is happening now in Manta, Ecuador. Captain Andres Calero has been at it again and the reports from this past weekend are phenomenal. Captain Gus Hernandez is back in the Galapagos after doing a few shows with the Ecuagringo Team in the USA and the tuna fishing reports coming out of the Galapagos are outstanding. Striped marlin are still around on 0-30 Bank and we will begin to fish more areas soon with many more reports to come as the high season begins. There are still a few last minute dates available for Manta and for Galapagos.
