Saltwater panfishing in Ecuador

Sabana Grande

We left Guayaquil at 5:45 am, and arrived at the Puerto de Sabana Grande at 7:30.

The boat (Angel) and pilots and been arranged for ahead of time, and all was ready.

They fed us breakast and we loaded the boat.

We spent the day on various locations of the estuary, which looks and fishes like a river, as the tides create a strong current most of the day.

The panfish we caught included Vagre, Corvina Grande, Corvina Yanqui, Lisa, Robalo, Pargo, Urel, Roncador de Peña, Mojarra, Tambulero, Boqueancho, Camotillo, and more.

The best fishing is June, July, and August.  They are available for tours all year.  Invierno (the rainy season 0f November to April is dangerous).

This outfitter specializes in sport fishing, and has clients worldwide.

Dinner was ready when we docked at the port.

Some fish have dangerous poisons
