Glenaveena Beach.

#1 Post by IDPearl »

Went down to Glenaveena late this afternoon to fish the rising tide. The crabs were very happy with my baits. There's quite a lot of kelp there which makes retrieval very difficult. Stuck it out from 4pm to 7pm and then decided a move was in order.

Clambered up the steep slopes and moved round to deeper ground. There I was happily taking my worms for a walk when all of a sudden, the reel gave a spin and the rod was a noddin. Pollock me thinks - at last. But no. A bend in the rod and a bit of a tussle and up pops a cod! Around the 3lb mark. He'd gutted the lug/squid cocktail, so I've invited him round for dinner tomorrow night!


Caught 4 others, but they were too small so they went back to grow a bit bigger.

BTW, this is what Glenaveena looked like - the Lion's Head is in the background.

Very painfully. There must be a better way down than the one I chose. It is REAL steep with briars all over the sides. My legs are sore as hell this morning just coming out of the shower. All the cuts are stinging!

Glenaveena is accessed "easier" from lion's head, go down the rope and turn left and down a spiral path through thick green plants and you will reach it.
