Captain Jeff Ross Obsession Charters Outer Banks North Carolina

Archived Fishing Reports

CUBA!
After years of talking about it, I finally got to Cuba. Wanted to bring the OBSESSION into Havana on the way home, but with no insurance for Cuban waters, and no partner boat for backup, Joe and I decided it was best to just fly in, scout things out and plan for next year. I have been in contact with a company that would provide us insurance next year, so after the Isla Mujeres sailfish season, if all goes well, and possibly teaming up with Anthony, I will be running a trip or two from Mexico to Cabo San Antonio, Cuba, and back , where reports of blue marlin, wahoo and virgin grouper waters the very western and remote end of Cuba. Then a couple of weeks based in Hemingway Marina for the adventurous fisherman!

Travel arrangements including airfare, flights, lodgings and visa into Cuba from Cancun was very easy.... $350-$400 for roundtrip 2hour flight and visa. I have a good travel agent on Isla Mujeres. We stayed in a Casa Particular, that was in a cool, but run down part of central Havana..... a short walk to Old Historic Havana, where I would recommend someone stay, where plenty of hotels are available along with lots of restaurants and bars and music. We visited Hemingway Marina, which looked like a good spot to tie up the Obsession.....it was amazing how few boats we saw on the water and the weather was beautiful.... those we saw were not much! Unfortunately we had to cut the trip short to join our running partners Rom and VJ who were going to leave Mexico a day early to beat some bad weather, so we did not get to take our planned road trip thru rural Cuba..... next year!
