 Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo and Swordfish Fishing Reports!

December 29 – 30, 2017

2017 was a great year of fishing in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands with several of our destinations reporting incredible catches of marlin, tuna, wahoo, mahi-mahi and grouper. The last few days has exploded with a very hot blue marlin bite out of Manta, Ecuador. The Galapagos Islands are closing the year with fantastic tuna, wahoo and jack fishing.
