Cuba Pt. 1 of 3 | Inshore Fishing | Topwater Snapper & Barracuda | Cayo Coco, Paradon & Guillermo

Part 1 of 4. To briefly escape the frigid Canadian Winter, we headed down to Jardines Del Rey airport in Cuba and stayed at the Pullman Resort. We then headed out of Cayo Guillermo and Cayo Paradon fishing for Snapper, Grouper, Jacks and Barracuda, in the beautiful Cayo Coco area. On this beautiful day I fish with my very good Cuban friend, Yordan and my Brother, John. The fishing was awesome, enjoy!
If you are heading down to the Cayo Coco area and are interested in some more cost effective fishing options, you can send Yordan a PM through Facebook, he is a Cuban local and lives close by in the town of Moron. Yordan will most certainly be able to help hook you up, at very affordable rates: / yordan.fg.39 - Tell him you got his contact from Big Shaun's UA-cam channel so he knows what it's about. You can also call Yordan, he can do shore or walk outs and inshore boat charters too.

*Note: You will need to bring down your own rods, reels, tackle and lures to fish inshore as the Cubans are very poor, they also cannot buy any fishing equipment on the island.
