Just got back from there a couple weeks ago. From what i understood it really depends on where you are as to the fishing. If your going to be in varadero, hit up the canal between the mainland and the "tourist area". A hook with some bait is all you need. The locals do it with handline. I chartered a boat to take me out, it was around 360$ for 5 hours on the water, and they supply all the beer. That price is for the boat too, so if you can find a couple guys, its not that expensive. Everyone said they wanted to go, but bailed out the day befor so i went by myself, ended up getting into 3 barracuda, only landed 1. It was about 3 1/2 feet and was awesome! I didnt venture far enough inland to do any fresh water fishing, but the bartender told me that the flies I had would work great there if i ever got a chance to come back. If your bringing your wife tell her to bring toilet paper, we kinda laughed when we heard that, and my wife regrets not listening. Have a good trip man, cuba is awesome!
