Hey Roy, I was just thinkin that maybe someday we will be able to go to Cuba and fish there. Political regimes eventually change. Hopefully the US AND Cuba will one day be able to have mutual respect, trade and tourism. I know a guy from Mass Maritime that while doing some research there got to fish the shoreline form a small skiff in several areas. This guy is a good flyfisher and light tackle guy. He said that Cuba holds the greatest potential for world record Tarpon, snook and Bonefish that he has ever seen and he has fished most of the world. Fishing wise the closed society there is robbing us of one hell of a destination. Hemingway knew it, someday we should be able to experience it I hope. Flap  |
Why even try.........

Flaptail,
There are some Florida charter captains that fish Cuba but they have a difficult time getting the guys back on the boats after they spent some time drinking in the bars and chatting up the local women. I would love to spend some time there both on and off the water.

Flap that would be great and hopefully someday that will be possible. I have only been there one time and that was when I was 6. My uncle took me fishing wih a hand line made of tread and a hook made from a safty pin. Actually it was a safty pin. We used crushed periwinkles and caught All kinds of fish, some were even 2 to 3lbs it was great.
Oh I just found out that the salmon qualifys for the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame line class World record. |

Way to go Roy  ! That is the second or third time you just missed in the last couple of months...I just have a feeling you are going to get what you are after 
Funny, I was just reading the newspaper article on you less than 10 minutes ago and I decided to jump on S-B to see what was going on....glad I did.
Hope you get the record...that would be awesome!
