Fishing Report: As far as my trip goes, it was everything I could have hoped for. Everything was absolutely fantastic. From the travel arrangements, to the personal attention and detail, to the lodging both in Havana and Gerona, to the fishing. Everything was superb. The week I fished the weather was very, very poor. Nevertheless, despite this, the fishing for both baby and giant tarpon was spectacular. I landed at least 3 tarpon during the week over 100 lbs. I also hooked large tarpon each and every day of my trip. One of my best days was hooking/jumping 9 large tarpon and landing 3. Considering the weather and considering that it was supposedly the off season for large tarpon, I was very happy.
There were only a few minor negatives regarding the trip. One, I forgot my digital camera at home. As a result, I have absolutely no photos of my entire trip. At one point, one of the guides took me a picture I with a smaller 70 lb. fish with his cellular phone. Maybe that turned out. If it did, I would sure appreciate if you could check and maybe forward me a copy of that picture.
I definitely look forward to getting back to Gerona and fishing with you sooner as opposed to later. I already have friends who are extremely excited about my trip and are attempting to talk me into going with them for the upcoming high season this year. Do you have any openings in May/June? Let me know. Thanks again to you and everyone at Avalon for making my trip such a memorable and enjoyable one.
