SCOTTIE'S CORNER

An often overlooked swim which gives some up close and personal fishing. When the fish come into Scottie's they are there to feed, and are ultimately very catchable.

Hot Areas

17-18 RL towards Alcatraz will drop you in the centre of the horseshoe shaped weed bed.
14-15 at the "V" in the headland
10 at the flat oak tree will land you at the bottom of a small shelf
9 half way up the tree line will drop you in front of the hole
8 down your right-hand margin towards the dead tree.
Don't overlook your nearside margin up the left hand side.

Description

This is a short range, intimate swim where you need to be quiet. In the Spring and Summer, there are fish frequently moving in and out of the swim. We removed the snags from the far side of the swim in December 2018 where a lot of fish used to hide. This has resulted in the fish feeding more in the swim, as opposed to hiding up. Don't be afraid to spend time with the lines out of the water; it lets the fish move into the bay with confidence. Sometimes 2 rods can be better than 3 in this corner swim. There is a path behind Co's Point swim which allows you to bait up the weed bed.
