Fellow Anglers,

Galapagos has not disappointed for most of the year. If the 2018 offseason is any indication of what the 2019 prime season may be then we are in for some of the best fishing anywhere. December has been spectacular with most days averaging 5 to 20 plus raises of striped and blue marlin fishing the banks off of San Cristobal Island.

Captain Gus has been fishing with Ecuagringo guests. The fishing for tuna, wahoo and marlin has been top notch. We cannot stress enough how good a fishery the Galapagos Islands are. Nowhere else in the world will you find a true 365 days a year marlin fishery like the Galapagos. The prime season offers areas where shots at double digit striped marlin, nice blue and black marlin, possibilities at grander marlin and the best topwater tuna action anywhere are for real! You owe it to yourself to take a trip of a lifetime to the best waters possible.
