Hello fellow Black Bass Anglers and Outdoor Journalists,
The International Federation of Black Bass Anglers (IFBBA) will be making it's 3rd excursion to the Republic of Cuba to fish at the world renown Lake Hanabanilla in the Villa Clara province about 4 hours drive from Havana.
Google Lake Hanabanilla, as well as the hotel Riveria and hotel Hanabanilla to get a photo look where you will stay. Lake Hanabanilla is around 8,000 acres,deep bluffs, grass and brush with stickers and some lay downs.
The water is clear and is fed by 9 small rivers and creeks. The Black Bass eat well because of the Tilipia and Viajacka (Bluegill) Population, but also there is crawfish and eels.
