Fishing Report: Salinas, La Plata Island and Manta have traditionally been excellent fishing destinations for Marlin and Tuna. But after the past couple of weeks, the Wahoos have won their spot!
It has been detected that at the second or third day of the break of the high tide, thousands of Wahoo approach, when the current turns south to the areas of La Plata Island and Salinas.
One can now leave Salinas or Manta, and in as little as 4 or 5 hours, amount to 20 or 30 Wahoos, returning to port with a smile that reflects 40 and, sometimes, 50 strikes, turning it into one of the best days of fishing any angler only dreams about.
Whether talking about the La Plata Island (where one can alternatively fish amberjacks or groupers) and the Cope (with frequent visits of Marlins and Tunas), Ecuador is changing its traditional tag of “Billfish Only” into a new and immense resource of fisheries of many different, as well as magnificent, species that certainly guarantee a spectacular time.
As an extra, we are having an amazing time with the show we are getting from the humpback whales that have just come to visit us. At both places precisely, we are seeing amazing and unforgettable spectacles from these giant mammals. With fishing and whale watching at the same time, we can certainly describe them as “Grand Slams” of fishing days, making our sport special, family-oriented and unique.
