My Vacation In Cuba

I’ve been back from Cuba for a couple weeks now and I have had time to think back on the trip and reflect. I’d like to say it was a fishing trip, but it was actually a late honeymoon. My fishing time was limited to my sons nap times, which are never more then two hours long. The weather was great, the drinks were strong, and the fishing…well, you’ll have to keep reading for that.

Back From Cuba

In case you didn’t figure it out already, I’m back from Cuba! The trip went great, and of course ended way too soon. I didn’t do as much fishing as I would have liked, but I managed to sneak a few hours in during nap times. I’m working on getting a proper report together for anyone else who will be visiting the area.

My Bags Are Packed

Actually, nothing is really packed. I’m at work for another hour tonight, but once I get home I’ll start packing. I travel pretty light generally, fishing equipment and cameras are the only real bulk I’ll be taking with me. We’ll be on a flight to Toronto tomorrow morning to spend the night with my family before we head south to Cuba. It hasn’t really sunk in yet that I’ll be sitting on a beach very soon. I really love to travel, especially traveling to a tropical island. It’ll be nice to take off this winter jacket tomorrow!

The best part about traveling south, the weather!

I haven’t decided if I’m going to take my laptop with me yet, but there will be at least a few updates while I’m gone, so visit again soon!

Happy Halloween!

I’m Going To Cuba!

Finally saved up a little cash for a nice honeymoon with the wife. We got married In July, but figured it would be best to get away in the fall instead of the summer. We’ll be heading south to Varadero at the beginning of November, and I’ll be tacking my fishing rod. I’ve been doing some research on shore fishing in the area, and it looks like it will be a challenge to find some big fish. I’m sure I’ll be able to find some barracuda at the very least, but what I’d really like to catch is another tarpon!

Any of you readers have experience fishing in Cuba?
