Diving Galapagos - Fishing Guayaquil (Salinas)?

[Baroo]

Hey all -

I'll heading to the Galapagos in a few weeks and will be staying in Guayaquil for an extra day before the boat heads out. We'd like to do some fishing (Marlin/catch-release) on that day. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go, what to expect and pricing?

So far it seems like Salinas or Manta are the places to go. Cost is looking like $1500 for a full day trip. Seems a bit high.

Thanks.

Good luck. The police are rioting in Quito. I don't know what things are like offshore, but you have to get there somehow.
