The best way to describe the action here is like trolling for Bluefish up in the North East when the bite is on. When you troll through the birds and the feeding Dolphin get ready for the reel to start screaming and many times with it’s with multiple strikes and hook-ups. This shot is of Dr. Julie Ball getting ready to release a Striped Marlin.

Today was another great day of Marlin fishing off Isla San Cristobal. Once again the sea was full of life, although we brought less fish to the boat there was far more strikes and battles including two Black Marlin. One I fought and dropped after an impressive aerial show and Andy’s that may have been close to 500 pounds. The image here is of Scotts Striped Marlin freight training across the water.

Today we took a break from fishing for a guided land tour of the island. Scott and Tim are ready for another day of work as we head out in a typical island taxi to explore everything San Cristobal has to offer.

These amazing creatures are on the verge of extinction and a preservation was developed four years ago to help protect the remaining population. They are enormous animals and can live for over 100 years. The first baby tortoise was born on the San Christobal prserve this year with hopes of more to follow in the next 6 to 8 months.

The view from the top of El Junco (pronounced el hoon-co) is nothing less than spectacular. At an altitude of about 2,000 ft, El Junco is the only fresh water lagoon on San Cristobal formed from rainwater collecting in a large volcanic crater. The climate is much cooler than at sea level and the vegetation is so plush and green that ferns must be cut every day to keep the trails around the lagoon clear.

Sea Lions can be found all over the island and capturing the beauty of the wildlife in their natural habitat has been one of the main focuses of this trip. The animals have no fear of humans and it’s incredible to view them so closely.

The Marine Iiguanas crawl from under piles of lava rock along the coast to soak up the sun. They occasionally shake their heads and spit to purge themselves of saltwater. They almost look like prehistoric dinosaurs, again with hardly any fear of humans.

Our island exploration continued today with a boat tour around San Cristobal. The first stop we made was at Kicker Rock, a mammoth rock protruding from the water and extending approximately 330 feet in the air. A split between the rocks is a popular snorkeling site with views of numerous Hammerhead Sharks circling below.

You can’t go to Galapagos without seeing the Boobies! We spotted our first Blue Footed Boobie perched on a rock in a small, peaceful lagoon. The Boobies are an indigenous species to the Galapagos, and now that we finally saw them, we can all wear our “I Love Boobies” t-shirts.
