Fellow Anglers,
Have you wondered what it would be like to fish in an island paradise on the Equator?
The Galapagos Islands are located on the middle of the world sitting in the Pacific roughly 600 miles of the coast of Ecuador. The islands have been home to some of the best striped marlin and tuna fishing known to man. They are also safe, virtually crime free and a terrific place to dive, snorkel, tour, island hop and visit with family.
