I turned on Strava the other day and saw that I never ended a recording of one of our marlin days. This gives you some idea of how much chasing around you will be doing. Note the scale in the lower left corner. The total distance for the day was 141.5 miles.
From the landing in San Carlos to where we started fishing was 59 miles. The image above represents a little more than 20 miles covered while fishing for about 4 hours.
Do you know where the camp is? I don't see a map on the website.
I'm not sure exactly where the camp is but there aren't a ton of options for little casitas on the outer islands. If it's in Puerto Mag then we should have the commute to the outside cut in half.
Wow. Looks like a ton of fun. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
I am guessing it is in that area as well. Might cut 20 minutes off the run to the marlin grounds. Everyone was fishing off the south end of Isla Santa Margarita.
Sounds like you were fishing the same area we did. Where did you stay in Puerto Chale? That would be really nice to fish out of there instead of San Carlos.
Nice. That will cut the run in half. I never noticed that town. I thinking that sand bar out from there is absolutely covered in birds and I was always watching them as we went by. You are not far from the military base - behave yourselves!
There's a really basic 4 room hotel in Chale. Electricity is off solar. One restaurant. I have the contact info somewhere. When I get home I will dig it out and DM you.
But it might be easier and definitely more comfortable to stay in Constitucion and fish out of Chsle. About a 50 minute drive
whats wrong with san carlos? we stayed there for a whale trip, and hotel was fine.
