Fellow Anglers,
The fishing in Manta has been on fire!! If you want to experience perhaps the best natural blue marlin fishery in the world then you need to put Manta-Ecuador on your map. The last few days some boats have experienced double digit raises. The Galapagos has not done too bad either with somewhat of a striped marlin bite with the waters having cooled off a bit.
Ecuador:
Manta

May 30, 2017– On the Hook fished Rosa Blanca Banks and raised 7 striped marlin and released 2. Late afternoon they caught a big eye tuna around 90# and lost a blue marlin estimated around 600#.
May 31, 2017– On the Hook fished Rosa Blanca Banks again and hooked into a big eye tuna estimated over 300# that pulled the hook 7 feet from the leader after and almost 2 hour fight. They raised 4 striped marlin and released 1. Jhonamar 2 fished 0-30 Bank and raised 6 striped marlin and released 2.
June 1, 2017– Jhonamar 2 fished 0-30 Bank again and raised 3 striped marlin and released 1. A black marlin estimated over 600# tried to eat the teaser several times before fading away and did not eat a bait. Two nice big eye tunas around 35# would make for a great dinner.
