Fishing in cuba. - An info-page

[Tjello]

It is generally accepted that Cuba has some of the best largemouth bass fishing, and some of the biggest specimens, to be found anywhere; likewise, it is still considered a utopia for light-tackle flats fishing for various species, especially bonefish and small tarpon.

hi,
I am looking for some information on bass fishing guides and trips near manzanillo. I did fish just north of santiago de cuba about 10 years ago. I can not get a flight there during the first week of december. But i can get to manzanillo..which is about the same distance to santiago as the resort I stayed at before...bucanero..
regards, david.

We just spent the last week fishing the Rondeau Lagoons near Cayo Cocco..near Moron. Dec 2-9/2001
The lakes are very nice. The boats are 3/5 the guides are excellent. It was $35 U.S. per 1/2 day with guide and boat.
Bring your own tackle..you need 15lb..test.
5 guys caught only 4 large fish..one 10lbs,,8 ,and lower..
I have never casted as many times in my life.
Would I go back,, yes..I am sure there are more fish there they said you should have been here yesterday , we caught 7 fish in the same spot.
Only take a 10 inch black with blue tail- berkeley tournament worm...It was the only thing they were biting..
You may need some mosquito repellent..I used it one day.

leave a message..if you are going ,,we got transportation from the hotel iberostar daquiri..in cayo cocco..

i know that here people are talking about fishing on a boat, ship, but i have some experiences about fishing underwater, i did it for 3 years. i can say that the sea around Cuba is very beautifull, very transparent, and have a amaizing variety of fishes.
when i started fishing, i felt in love with such beautifull, i can tell that's more exciting hunt underwater than fish on it. *When you are able to pick the fish that you want to hunt among others, believe me, that's the best feeling that you can experience. *
i don't speak too much english, so please i will apreciate any correction. thank.

Carlito, Hola Fishing underwater sounds fun but what equipment do you need? How deep is the water you are fishing in and we beginners......where do we find someone to show us how. Give us a little more info on this new sport. Thanks JM

[carlito]

for hunting under water, in Cuba you have to go down at least ::) 22,50 meters using your own breath, and for the best hunting you have to go down :o 36 meters. *you need a neumatic gun, like an arpon, flippers, a mask, snorkel and some lastre,you have to go down without moving your legs in order to save your oxigene to come back to surface. ;D

Any people that want to hunt under water in Cuba, can ask here and i will introduce some hunter, that i know in Cuba, that can show you how to do it. 8)

please correct my english, i will apreciate it. thanks.

Hi guys,

What about the sea fishing from the beach / pier in cayo coco and cayo guillermo - is it ant good ?

What can I expect and what kind of gear would I need. I'm guessing barracuda, jacks and maybe tarpon. I would like to do light spinning or bait fishing.

Any advice or info gratefully received !

Cheers

Gary
