Afishionado Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Guys I may have said I am going to Cuba on holiday in Oct. The average Joe Cuban is desparately poor by our standards plus the fact that even if they get some cash together there is nothing apart from essentials for them to buy. Line fishing is one of the most popular past times for the Cuban working man but as an egalitairian country the orthopeadic surgeon is on the same wage as the road worker. So you get these two guys (litteraly) side by side sitting on the rocks fishing. Their biggest problem is tackle of ANY sort. Cuban law forbids them to shop in what is called $US/Canadian shops in the tourist areas, and it is these shops ONLY that sell up to date fishing gear. So to the point of this ......... I would like to ask the club members via the forum and next meeting to donate any bits of spare line, hooks, swivles, etc that they feel they would like to pass on to a Cuban fisherman. I will be doing the same and infact I am going to give away that rod I got at the Jumble before I leave Cuba. To my mind it is a Fisherman to Fisherman sorta thing, no politics or ideology involved. I will be at the September meeting and the October meeting and would be delighted to accept your gifts to take on to Cuba Mike Harvey PS as they are MAD about T shirts and caps I will take one of each over and get photo's to prove how far our membership stretches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
