If you want to increase your chances of hooking up with a great blue marlin then you need to go where the frequent.
The Galapagos Islands offer nutrient rich upwellings and deep waters that make it perfect to find giant blue marlin. Locals have been catching fish in excess of 1000 and 1500 pounds for over 40 years in these waters around Isabela Island. Finally Ecuagringo offers you a chance to make a trophy fish of a lifetime possible. We are the company that pioneered the outrages striped marlin bite in the Galapagos Islands and now we offer the best opportunities for big blue marlin.
Why Do Giant Blue Marlin Congregate In The Waters Off Isabela Island
Just a short 8 mile run from the port town of Puerto Villamil you will find a drop-off that goes from 600 to 6000 feet. This incredible wall will help push squid and a whole food chain of bait near the surface. On a common day of fishing you will witness many birds, seas lions, sharks and other predators picking off smaller baitfish.
Unlike the famous shallower banks where we fish for striped marlin in the Galapagos, the blue marlin tend to prefer the deeper drops near Isabela Island. On a typical day of fishing anglers will usually average 1 to 3 bites of blue marlin but days with 5 to 10 bites are not uncommon. The average fish from Isabela Island is 600 to 900 pounds with granders often in the mix.
The size of these fish leave no doubt that these are large females coming to feed on the plentiful schools of tuna, bonito, squid and mackerel found in these waters. The Panama, Equatorial, Humboldt and Cromwell currents all meet in the Galapagos. Perhaps no other place on the planet has such a combination and concentration of marine life.
