Love Fishing

Cuba is the biggest as well as most enigmatic island in the Caribbean. This magnificent holiday destination offers a blend of culture, history, architecture, music as well as geography that captivates whoever visit it.

If you are a water sports lover Cuba is the perfect destination, with beyond belief white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, coral reefs and limestone formations just few meters away from the shoreline. Snorkelling in addition to scuba diving are well-liked, as are windsurfing in addition to sailing.

For SCUBA diving packages or sailing holidays to Cuba the finest is to chat to a specialist. Just few tour operators deal with this kind of package holidays. They are more tailor made in addition to it requires more information as well as research from the operator.

If you are more into cultural package holidays to Cuba then why not visit Havana. Without a shadow of doubt the capital of Cuba will keep you very busy visiting museums, cigar factories, monuments, stunning squares and cafes. Other interesting locations worth mentioning are Trinidad, Cienfuegos as well as Santiago de Cuba. This last site is particularly branded for its Caribbean touch as well as its musical traditions.

If you are looking for shopping holidays then Cuba is perhaps not the greatest destination although there will be a number of hand craft markets available on each an every locality in Cuba. Tobacco, rum along with coffee are the most trendy souvenirs tourists buy in Cuba. Black coral jewellery is also very demanded.

Package holidays to Cuba are offered by many tour operators but if you are looking for something more exclusive, lets say bird watching, horse back riding, escorted tours, history or architecture packages then you have to talk to a specialist. You could also lodge with Cuban families if you want to get to know Cuban people. This by far is the cheapest form of travel. Most family homes will cost half the price of hotels. In a few cases tailor made packages are cheaper than the ordinary beach package holiday.

It is always recommended to chat to a specialist about your Holidays in Cuba. This way you can get the finest advices in terms of which places to visit and which hotels to lodge in. I would not expect less for my self.

If you’re serious about landing a big one, then you need a proven and tested carp fishing bait. Bringing in one of these big fighters can be a thrill you never forget. People fish for them all the time just for that reason. They aren’t popular for eating and most people shy away from it. But some people know that if you cut out the mud-line, which is an orange line down either side of the meat, you can eat a carp.

As far as bait goes, there are three main baits that we small town anglers have proven year after year to catch the big carp. In a small town like mine, we had nothing much else to do for entertainment but fish, so it’s just part of our lifestyle. We soon learned what types of bait were best for whatever type of fish we were after on that particular day.

The first good bait I want to share with you is what we call a ‘dough ball’. It’s made from ‘Shredded Wheat’, which is a cereal we ate growing up. You simply take one of the shredded wheat biscuits and dip it under the water, and then start mashing and molding it into a round ball. It may take a couple of dunks to get it right, but when you finish you have a round ball that will hold together fine in the water. Then sink your hook into the center until you can’t see it, and cast it out. The big carp really love these things.

Most any angler, experienced or not, knows that worms are good fish bait. But the truth is, different worms are best for different types of fish. You have night crawlers, wigglers, stripers, and red-worms that all have their place and can be used for carp too. But I’ve found that the best worms for carp are green-worms. These worms can be found in the dark mud along the riverbank that looks like big cracked mud slabs. Trust me, you’ll catch more carp with these than you will with any other type worms.

Growing up in the small town I’m from, carp fishing was a regular activity. Me and my friends all learned at an early age what a thrill it is to haul in one of these big fighters. They get really big in this area. We normally caught six pounders on up to twenty pounders. But once in a while somebody would land a big thirty pounder, and this was big news. This was the goal we all had set in mind, the thirty pounder.

The third bait is nothing more than canned corn from the supermarket. You just load a kernel at a time on the hook until it’s covered. It can be a challenge to get one to stay on and cover the end of your hook, but it CAN be done. I can’t tell you how many carp have been caught on corn. I can personally vouch for all three of these carp baits because I’ve used them since I was a small boy and had great success with them.

You now have the advantage of using proven and tested carp fishing bait to get ahead of your fishing buddies. Sneak some of these into your tackle box and use them when nobody’s looking. They’ll soon come sniffing around to see what you’re using to bring in the big carp. But you don’t have to tell them
