Fellow Anglers,
San Cristobal Island had had a phenomenal striped marlin bite last year and this year. Most days have been showing double digit raises of striped marlin. The past week a few blue marlin were raised. On Isabela the Ecuagringo team continues looking for giant blue marlin and raised and broke off a fish estimated over 900# on March 26 with Angler Robert Bergman on the rod.
