Whether practiced
as a sport or a hobby, fishing in Cuba is a veritable paradise. With
it's position at the entrance of the Gulf of Mexico and its profusion
of keys and peninsulas that litter the island's circumference, amateurs
like Ernest Hemingway have spent many happy hours pursuing the multiple
species of fish that abound in its waters.
The island's marine platform, rich in life, has something to satisfy even the most demanding
tastes. Surface types can troll for swordfish, blue and white marlin,
sail fish, emperor and golden fish, pipe or needlefish and barracuda.
Innumerable species to pique the interest of even the most exacting deep sea fisher can
be found in deeper waters further from the coast. These species have
migratory seasons moving with the marine currents to spawn and to
feed, thus providing zones of great abundance of fish at any given moment.
Every type of fishing is possible in these waters. Although some techniques have more requirements
than others, it is important to stress that Cuba has excellent and
attractive possibilities to pursue every type. Come and partake of
the riches of the "pearl of the Antilles" and enjoy the
superb challenges it has to offer.
