Opis
The beach in the cove Uboka, located south of Mošćenička Draga, like most of the beaches in the Mošćenice area, is formed by torrents descending from Učka towards the sea, carrying stone material and forming a shore. Still, after rainy periods, you can see a stream in the cove Uboka dividing the shore into two parts, creating a large underwater source of fresh water in the sea. The people still remember the cove as Malin, which indicates that the stream once ran a grain mill. The bay itself is a famous fishing post that is still used today. There are fishermen’s stone fishing huts (barracks) in the cove for holding nets, fishing tools, but also boats which were pulled out of the sea, and thus protected from strong waves, bora or the southeast wind. In the middle of the last century, sprats were mostly caught in winter, and in other months, sardines, sea bass, Atlantic mackerel, Pacific mackerel, scomber, bonito and tuna. During the summer, bony fish were also caught (horse mackerel, seabream, salema, bogue...). While sardines used to be fished with gillnets, mackerel and sprat were caught by shore seine “migavica”, while today purse seine nets are used for fishing. Nowadays, this post is mainly used for small-scale fishing with gillnets.
