This is the best part of it all!
Dear Jacques and Theresa, thanks for taking the time to write us and sharing your joy with us!
"DEAR ASTA
Although I am an "old",and experienced Atlantic Salmon angler,I had never done any Sea Fishing,and Arni Baldursson insisted that I tried that.
I must say that he was extremely right,as my first trip to Jardines De La Reina with Angling Club Lax-a was FANTASTIC.
JARDINES DE LA REINA is an angler's PARADISE. The boat,HALCYON, is modern,pretty,and well equipped. The food(excellent fish,lobsters,excellent chicken(so rare),good wines,nice deserts,remarquable cocktails) ,is outstanding by any world standards for food served on a ship.
The fishing guides are absolutely FANTASTIC...and I have seen many(although only for Salmon and sea-trout fishing)....and Victor is said to be the best guide in Cuba...which I can easily believe.
Despite difficult weather (wind and waves),I caught,on fly, 3 "baby tarpon",6 large tarpon(3 at 65, 65, and 70 lbs),and "lost"(???!!!) a MONSTERRR...that had no kindness at all for the beginner that I am.
We also caught a number of Bonefish,but this not my cup of tea.
Four large Jacks,pulling backing like hell,were added to my score(and to kitchen stocks),while my mife specialized on large Barracudas...each new one seeming to be larger than the previous...and on Snappers (plus Bonefish).
All in all,a totally OUTSTANDING week...and when,on the"Appreciation and Comments Sheet",we were asked to state if anything had been "unsatisfactory",my wife,and I,said that,indeed,one thing was very bad : That we had to come Home!!!!!
We shall come back...rather 10 times than once..!!!
