Sept 30 to October 4, 2017, Ecuagringo hosted Mr. Bill Pino from Squid Nation and Kim Hemanowski. The fishing with Captain Andres Calero out of Manta was unfortunately very slow and in four and half days of fishing they raised 1 blue marlin and a few striped marlin plus saw a few tailing striped marlin. Bill and Kim fished Sept 30, Oct 1, 3 and 4, 2017. Not many pangas were out fishing as they were focused on catching Humboldt squid.
