Galapagos 2011 - Video Madness
Capt Andy had yet another amazing season down in the Galapagos chasing down marlin, tuna, wahoo, and much more while fishing with the Sportfish Galapagos charter operation. Here are the videos from the trip. Click here…
Day 15 of 15 - Galapagos Islands - Final Day
Today was the last for Steve Palmo and Mitch Wergiles as well as my last day. I could write a thousand works or more to summarize this trip, but I think the individual daily posts…
Day 14 of 15 - Galapagos Islands - More Marlin
Mitch Wergiles and Steve Palmo went out to the Santini Bank for the second straight day and once again Pete Santini put them on the striped marlin. The fish were certainly more aggressive than the…
Day 13 of 15 - Galapagos Islands - After the Tsunami
We got a late start today because the port was not re-opened until 7am because of the tsunami yesterday. The damage was minimal, but I suspect there was some “red tape” that needed to be…
Day 12 of 15 - Galapagos Islands - Tsunami Warning - WTF
Santini woke me up this morning and I felt like I had not gotten the 5 hours of sleep I planned on. I was right. It was 4am and he was waking me up because of…

Day 7 of 15 - Galapagos Islands - Jack Attack
Once again fishing in the Galapagos Islands has surprised me just as I knew it would. Paul, Alan, and Daniel decided to skip marlin fishing and we visited a spot where two days earlier we slayed…
Day 5 of 15 - Galapagos Islands - Back on Track
The weather has changed and the fishing turned back on again. My crew of Paul Michele, Shaun Ruge, and Mike “007” Pelligra went to a spot I had never fished before and we had an…
Day 4 of 15 - Galapagos Islands- At Least We Ate Well
The ridiculously calm conditions finally gave way to a weather change we pretty much shutdown the fishing for a day. Five boats went out to the bank and only Pete Santini’s boat hooked anything (typical)….
Day 3 of 15 - Galapagos Islands - Tuna and Marlin
Incredibly calm today. Not even a hint of breeze. Santini and his crew (Paul, Shaun, and Mike) headed out for marlin and had a decent day with two big striped marlin, 14 attacks, and 18…
