WORLD RECORDS
Manta and «Isla de la Plata» maintain their famous record, the 1.014 pound Blue Marlin caught by Jorge «Pancho» Jurado in 1985.
A lot of records caught by anglers North of Salinas have actually been caught at the same area of the «Isla de la Plata»
The activity in Manta has been limited in the years 1987 through 2002 because the fishermen have not have the facilities necessary in order to practice this beautiful sport.
Now with Blue Marlin Lodge, the story is different.
