dad had a boat and it was to much trouble...

a shame for your dad...
but I guess you know the 3 basic cuban says :
-It's not allowed!
-It's difficult!
-It's IMPOSSIBLE!!...:nono:

will be in cayo largo area and have right connections there, so that I can get a sportfishing boat and discreetly do bwh or cubera chasing
coast is 1/2 the day renting at Cape Hatteras or Miami...
did a lot of hunting with ex Pipin colleagues
Cuban spearo are, in my modest opinion, among the most skilled all over the blue planet.;)

:plusone:

Some possess a certain grit/toughness that I've seen nowhere else. Along with the breath hold, fish sense and the rest of the stuff.

the area i fish is very remote as i said, you could use some mosquito repelent , but as it's december it won't be to bad. i'm sending a friend a message right now to ask him to be there in the isle waiting for u , and if he can't be , then have someone to do so. he owns the house in the pic and he can make arrangements to take u fishing . you will not need a boat there. all you have to swimm out is a couple hundred metters to be on the second reef. some places even less. but i'll pm you a couple of his numbers so you can call him. you speak spanish , right ?

stefano , here are the pics of the house in cocodrilo. very modest.

Hi Pantoja,
did hinuting several times in cayo avalos, cantiles, rosario, rico and other in this area..:cool2:

you suggeated the south west coast of I de la Juventud
did you explore the other cayos offf this coast. for example: Matias , campos..?
Thank,s

not really , but fishin in the whole area is pretty good. did i say south west ? sorry , i ment south east. and i ment all the keys you mentioned before. but to the other side, the west , theres good fishing too . el cayuelo has a lot of fish, specially when the muttons spawn. they have to pass through there . the farther away the keys are the better because fewer people go there. a friend of mine was stationed in cantiles some time ago and he didn't fish deep . but the fishing was sooo good even in the shalow.

oh, sorry about that. well, maybe next time. to do this kind of trips you have to do everything with plenty of time in advance. i never fished trinidad , but you should find a local spearo to show you around.

did not see anything worth catching...

unfortunately inshore coast cloe to cities get outfished by spearo pressure and you have to dive pretty deeper..

Any feedback from the trip?

it stung the top of my hand....

this fish could be pretty venimous lucky you did'nt get an anaphylactic reaction.

Unfortunately lion fish "pez vela invasor" are everywhere in Cuban reefs.
a massive weapon of destruction sent by "the bad imperialist US gov"! (I met a couple of cuban believing this story!):rolleyes1:

Lion fish are everywhere in the caribbean, here in Puerto Rico(& I believe everywhere else) they have become real problem & the ONLY natural predator the Lion Fish has in the caribbean are spearos..Now going back to fishing in Cuba, I have a friend that's in the milatary & was stationed in Guantanamo & he said spearing, hook & line fishing there was just unbelievable, he was showing Me pics of monster lobsters he caught close to the shore in just 4 to 5 feet of water..I would love to go there, not only to fish, but also to sit down with the locals & enjoy some Havana Club(si es Reserva o Máximo pues mejor) & Guayabita del Pinar..
