Fellow Anglers,
Fishing continues to be incredible on most days the last week in Manta. Galapagos has also had incredible action from big eye tuna, wahoo and striped marlin. The fishing in Manta usually goes strong from June until January. In Galapagos the cooler season has started which can mean more winds but cooler seas that often turn on the striped marlin bite.
