plaicemat Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Well, Cuba's definitely a Good Thing. Sunshine, clear skies, blue seas, plenty of good food, meeting some new friends and seeing the delights and marvels of Havana. Oh, and I went fishing a time or two as well. For any one interested, the fishing is varied and on the lure side, a lot more varied and prolific than I am used to. I had barracuda up to 50lb (according to the guide), one tarpon, guessed at 50lb before release, permit, snapper, yellow tail, grouper, triggers (bigger and more colourful than ours) and, my personal favourite, bonefish on the fly, biggest 9lb. My God! Do those things go! I had the fly line and 200mtrs of backing and on a couple I could see the gold colour of the spool appearing through the line. All in all, I can't wait to go back. I did a lot of research and have a database of the best guides, best flies and lures, tackle required, phone numbers and emails to book in advance, etc, so if anyone is going, I will help where I can. How about a Club trip? Different to Weymouth. I will append photos as soon as I transfer them to this main computer. Terry. Edited March 17, 2011 by plaicemat Quote
