That looks like it's going well, Sean.

 

Got any pictures of the fish, so I can see what I'm looking for?

Sorted...

Blimey! That doesn't look very streamlined. Do they fight well?

[n4lly]

Suprisingly, yes. very heavy, they have a solid bone skeleton on the outside.

Also known as box fish.

To be found over shallow water reefs, by the look of it.

I have been advised that if I want to fish in Cuba to go soon, as when America lifts the embargo on it's citizens going there prices will at least double.

Apparently, some paces in Cuba have banned DIY angling, so you have to hire a guide.

As far as I am aware this only applies to Cayo Largo you will be OK in Playa Pesquero.

I can also confirm that the cowfish go like stink, I was convinced I had a decent Bonefish on when I first hooked one, they grow to over twenty pounds as well.
