Hullo matey
Try CubaMania (www.cubamania.com); it has a forum devoted purely to fishing there and Largo has come up several times from people with the same enquiry. It works the same way as this site, Q&A from members, mostly based either in UK and Canada.

Hi Rosco
That web site that Mark's suggested will certainly help, I'm sure. Just a small point though - clicking on the link comes up with an error because a couple of spurious characters have been included in the url. This should work - http://www.cubamania.com.

Albeit it's a fly fishing site, and covers pre-arranged guided trips, this also refers to the archipelago - http://www.castawayflyfishing.net/cuba.htm. At least it should give you an indication of the species you're likely to encounter, things like Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit, Barracuda and Jacks.

Subject to the feedback you get from that Cubamania site I doubt whether the beachcaster's going to be of much use unless you can find some of the deeper water channels where you might also encounter some sharks and rays. What spin rod(s) do you have though? Whilst something rated for freshwater Pike fishing coupled to say a 12 to 15lb line will work for most of those species you'd need something lighter, around 8lb test for the Bonefish.

I put together some fairly detailed notes for a couple of forum members who were planning to fish the Turks and Cacois Island that may be of use. Let me try and find it and I'll include it in another posting.

Hi Mark
Sorry, been in the 'thick of things'! Still got to respond to your PM which I'll do shortly.

Hi Rosco
Here're those links to self-guided fishing in the Turks and Cacois Islands - http://www.worldseafishing.com/forum...ad.php?t=10506 and http://www.worldseafishing.com/forum...ad.php?t=17148. Some are specific references to the T & Cs, others though are fairly general to just about anywhere in the Caribbean.

Hopefully they're of some help. But post again if you have any specific queries.
Dave
