THE FISHING
Renowned worldwide for it's quality sea fishing heritage, Scarborough on the beautiful Yorkshire coast is the ideal port to charter a boat for an angling trip.
Luckily for Scarborough there is many places to fish, most of these places we fish are Natural scars of rock, kelp beads, And generally really rough ground ideal for Cod and Pollock Fishing. there are many marks we fish some are only a few minutes away from the harbour and others can span up to filey brigg or ravenscar again two very good Cod and Pollock grounds.
Also close to Scarborough are many old ship wrecks, mainly ships that were sunk in the war, and some old trawlers. these wrecks can produce good Cod, Ling, Pollock, and Many other fish.

Nick is a keen match angler fishing from the boat and the shore. Over many years he has fished in several Scarborough Clubs that he has gathered many trophies and prizes. As well as fishing Nick also enjoys gathering and digging his own bait to ensure he has the best possible bait.
Nick has worked aboard Skylark since 2012 taking passengers out, before then Nick fished on private angling vessels out of Scarborough harbour starting with his uncles boat the " Clare Louise a tremlett 21"
Whether you are a beginner or an expert, Nick with his lifelong knowledge of the area will take you to the best spots for a successful day’s fishing.
First and foremost Nick is an angler and admits to having a passion for bait fishing from the shore and the boat for Cod. During the summer Nick feels there is not any type of better fishing than catching Pollock on light tackle using lures. Obviously cod is the main target species of all the charter boats and we have had some excellent fish with both quality and quantity coming aboard
In 2015 Nick also started Skylark Tackle expanding the buissness into tackle and bait sales and also fabricating fishing equipment.

We used skylark for a fishing trip with my children and and two other families, we had an amazing time.
The captain of the boat was very friendly showing the kids how to fish and pointing out the sea lions.
We caught a few fish and also got an extra 30 mins to seek out some dolphins. I highly recommend this trip. -

Our 3-hour fishing trip with Skylark fishing trips was absolutely brilliant! The skipper was exceptional - friendly, knowledgeable, and super helpful. He expertly guided my husband and teenage sons to the perfect spot, and they caught a variety of fish. The skipper went above and beyond, taking the time to teach our youngest son how to gut the fish and even giving us extra time to spot dolphins.
The level of service was top-notch, and it was clear the skipper was dedicated to making our experience unforgettable.
We'd 100% recommend Skylark fishing trips to anyone looking for a fishing trip in the Scarborough area. The combination of great fishing, excellent service, and unexpected highlights like the dolphin spotting made for an amazing day out. -

Another amazing day with Skylark. Fishing started as soon as the lines hit the bottom a nice cod weighing just under 5lb.
Plenty of big mackerel all throughout the day with a good amount of pollock and codling.
Loads of other species caught.
What was nice to see was a skipper fishing with us and as soon as someone's rod bent over the skipper was there ready to help net.
This is my 2nd trip with Skylark in the last few months and I will be booking again.Skippers Reponse: Cheers Tomasz
We are always grateful for people's feedback, and hope to see you again soon -

After loosing faith with fishing from Scarborough I should have followed previous reviews what a trip to be on. Friendly knowledgeable skipper who volunteers for his local RNLI and has a very high standard onboard. The booking was professional with all the information, terms and conditions sent across. The night before as promised we had the confirmation call, when onboard Nick gave a safety brief explaining all the situations making us feel really safe. Not the newest boats but it's really looked after and the skippers knowledge of the boat and area shows. I must of caught 45+ fish mainly 3 to 5lb cod.
I definitely will be coming back soon and thank you Nick for all the hard work you do. I nearly abandoned fishing from Scarborough after using 2 other companies.Skippers Reponse: Thank you for your review Tom, as you have seen we have been working hard to promote fishing in Scarborough. Fishing has it's good days and bad days, We always try our best no matter what! Hope you enjoyed the fillets and we look forward to seeing you again hopefully it's another productive day. Regards Nick
