Beara Peninsula Adventure

#1 Post by Ashley Hayden »

I love the Beara Peninsula, it is wild, remote, and provides access to some of the best sea angling in Europe. To get the best from it shore anglers need to have patience and endurance but the rewards are worth it. A recent trip shattered all expectations, http://www.anirishanglersworld.com.

Fair play on the blog Ashley, it's a good read, looks very well put together and should grow into a substantial body of work over time. Has been added to the favourites list.

First class report :D That is just simply awesome fishing, the stuff of dreams, well done Ashley & Company. I have yet to fish in that area but after reading your report Ashley and looking at the pictures I will make a point of going sometime for sure.
