Back from Cuba

[cowie]

Got back from Cuba last week,i couldn't get with any guides for my fortnight as they had all been block booked,luckily i had tarpon which were in channels around the back of the hotels and i found a shoal of bonefish which worked the beach at high water early in the day,so ended up having a great fortnight's fly fishing catching both the above.

Nice one.

I have heard the Bonefish are really hard to catch.

[Greenheart]

Nice one. Where abouts in Cuba were you staying?

He will have been cayo guillermo as thats where the channels are behind the hotels they hold juvenile tarpon upto 30lbs. Hope this helps!

Hi gang, just joined tonight I'm going to Cayo Guikkermo this Tuesday, and was woundering what to expect for my Fishing. I usualy fly fish up here in Scotland but going to try the spinning game for a change what can I expect and would flying condoms work as well over there as they do up here for the salmon.
any tips would be great
Thanks

Hi i have been to cayo guillermo twice and done ok for the tarpon in the channels behind the hotels on fly, as for spinning you want to go to the rocks at pilar beach,you will need some big poppers like chug bugs and skitter pops in white red heads, there is big tarpon amberjack and snapper,you will need good strong tackle.

Hi i have only been on the charter boat once,we had a good day i caught darado, baracuda,and bonito,but i like fishing all the shore marks, ask around whene you get there, you will find plenty of places,have a look on the cuba mania forum it will tell you every thing.
cheers Ray.
