If you are into high stakes angling, it seems Nicaragua is the place to be.

Locals in Tasbapauni and Bluefields have been fishing for the elusive “white lobster” — 35 kilo bales of cocaine. Drug trafficking routes from Columbia and Nicaragua pass by these villages. Frequent patrols force traffickers to toss their cargo overboard. The bales of coke wash up on shore or are caught in fishing nets. The locals then sell the blow back to the suppliers for a profit, and use the money for local infrastructure. Now thats entrepreneurship!

PS. I thought about titling this post “Development-in-a-dimebag” with apologies to Enterra who created Development-in-a-box.
