The Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to keep restrictions on Americans traveling to Cuba. While U.S. anglers can still bend the rules to get there, if you want to go you better act fast. It's just a matter of time before the former terrorist state is overun with American tourists, KFC's and Ford Fusions.
