Galapagos Fishing Report The Marlin on Fly School April 11, 2008
Greetings from the Galapagos:
Danny Cline and I joined Captain Braden Escobar his two mates and Captain Alan Star aboard Blue for the third day of our Galapagos Marlin on Fly adventure. We left the dock at 7:00 AM, and began fishing at 9:00 AM at Rosa Blanco bank, with partly cloudy hot weather with some showers in the area. The bank was alive with sea lions, dolphins, whales, lots of birds and bait and of course lots of big Striped Marlin.
I think that the marlin were gorging themselves on the abundance of bait in the area, as we raised 31 marlin during our eight hours of fly fishing fro marlin, however we only teased in less than 10 and only got three bites on the fly. I got my first bite at about 10:15 AM when a 160 pounder teased into my casting range, and gave me a good shot. I made a good cast, placing the fly just behind that Marlin; he then turned and pounced on my fly. This battle lasted about five minutes, wit six or seven jumps before that great striped marlin leapt out of the water, whacked my 16 pound tippet with his bill, and broke the tippet.
My first Striped Marlin hooked on this trip to the Galapagos About an hour later I hooked a 275 pounder on 20 pound tippet, it looked like the hook slipped out of the marlins mouth on a jump and hooked her on the bill. She fought me very hard for 25 minutes and never jumped again, then all of the sudden, while I was gaining on her, the hook came out and she was gone.
Danny Cline's second Striped Marlin on fly from 3 bites in three days! Next I handed the rod to Danny and five minutes later he hooked up to a 180 pound, red hot Striped Marlin. Danny didn't make any mistakes and after a 26 minute battle Danny Cline had landed his second Striped Marlin on Fly in two days. After 3 days of fly fishing aboard the vessel “Blue  with Captain Braden Escobar, in San Cristobal, Galapagos, Danny and I together have had 5 Striped Marlin eat our flies, and we released 2 of the 5 bites. This place is awesome, we have seen over 50 striped marlin during our first three days of fishing, I am sure it will get even better tomorrow. More Reports to follow, I sure love this job!
