I would have an 8wt fly rod with me. The permit and bonefishing is supposed to be very good!

Last free vacay was a month in Cambodia. I navigated that one pretty well, and wandered all over the country. Avoided the mines, malaria and tapeworms...although I have been eating more than usual...hmm..

Also did a five star in Mexico for a honeymoon two years ago. Was all over the place there without issue, machine gun wielding police notwithstanding.

Anyway, instead of Christmas my father in law wanted to take a few of us to Cuba. Should be a good time regardless of my bellyaching.

Why not use this opportunity to go shopping for a new rod and reel and line when you get there and some hardware to fish with
while your there and if you really like it it can become carry on luggage just a thought.

I really like the Cubans now knowing what I've read here ha ha !
Enjoy take a bunch of pictures and Stay Safe over there !

Having never been south of Key West, I am not giving firsthand knowledge......but it is rumored that, besides Muy Grande Largemouth Bass, Cuba also has some excellent inshore flats type fishing for Bonefish and Tarpon, as well as the usual deep sea type stuff......cheap.. Not to mention great hunting for White Crowned Pigeons. Are you into birds? How about American Crocodiles or, better yet, the Cuban Ivory Billed Woodpecker! The possibilities are endless Amigo.

For the last 5 years budd'sy have packed fishing gear and go out fishing on the ocean or shore fishing. The Taxi guys knows someone.....
They leave the rods and gear down there so they don't have to pay to bring it back, and their island host find time for them the next year.
Next is you find a bar/ grill walking distance from the resort, and get them to cook up the fish for dinner.
they caught some 4 foot long fish and it was done up and served on a BIG plate....the whole restaurant ate at the table some 25 people....they were the hit of the party and welcomed back
Dinner cost=0$ and they consumed a wee bit

Travel airplane cost 3 western coyotes.....or 30 easterns

Drink some rum and have a cigar while you fish

Why heck, that's only 600 grinners or so. Good coyote trappers can easily catch that many grinners in a season or three of making perfect coyote sets.

Does anyone like French Canadians?

In my limited experience, French Canadians stink, quite literally. The women look like they have Buckwheat in a head lock and don't need wool stocking to keep their legs warm either.

I got a lot of French Canadian friends.They are more like me than English people from the city.Some of the best trappers and bushmen are French Canadians.
And French girls really like to look after themselves-very hot women.And they are very comfortable with themselves.

If they take you we will come save you I’m thinking the Bay of Pigs would be a great landing spot they will never see it coming.

Or you can take a 90 mile boat ride to the good ole US of A!!!!

No! They are disgusting little creatures that are rude, smelly and non-respectful.

Why on Earth would a person choose commie Cuba to vacation . Is your everyday life that miserable ?

Its inexpensive.
Like 50 said you can get an all inclusive week there at a 5 star and round trip tickets for the price of a couple coyote pelts.
Lots of Canucks go there.Fidel was Truedopes dad so they like him.

I did not find Cubans to be anti-american in the slightest. Among the warmest friendliest people I have met anywhere in the world.

I took in one of the shows. I did not know that a woman's body could move in the way those dancers bodies moved. Imagine hips moving so fast you can't focus on them! Just a blur.

That was the rum Beaverpeeler,lol.

Hope You have Wi-fi

Because he's a Kanuck, globalist to the core.

Hey We're all T-men here...keep it Civil
