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.

WE ARE THE ONLY CHARTER BOAT THAT OPERATES ALL YEAR AROUND FROM SCARBOROUGH.

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.

Had the best trip I've ever had with Nick on Skylark on 16.09.24. fishing was constant and many fish over 20lb caught on this trip. Which is unheard offin this area before.
Great seeing Nick beat his own personal best and run around the boat all trip with the net and gaff which was very much needed on this trip.
Can't wait for September wreck fishing in 2025!!! -

Fished on Skylark a few times now, and on several boats on the east coast as well as shore fishing, gathering my own bait etc.
Have to say Nick is the best skipper on the east coast really knows his marks, techniques and boat knowledge is unreal.
Unfortunately Scarborough has several boats with skippers that don't have a clue what to do or where to go. Nick definatly isn't one of these and is a total different league when it comes to angling off Scarborough. -

Had the most amazing 3 hour fishing trip on Wednesday whuch ended up with us catching, Ling, Cod, Mackerel, and a great sized Pollock. Ling over 11lb
Great family time spent with my wife and son and cannot recommend doing anything better for an adventure you'll never forget. All tackle and bait provided with expert tuition that we took to on our first cast. Actually took us wreck fishing 5 miles out and came back to stop Mackerel fishing close to the harbour. We're sure to come back -

We had a fantastic time fishing on the skylark, for my sons 18th birthday, he caught a ling, mackerel and herring, he was so chuffed, the skipper even gave us an extra hour so everyone had a chance to catch a fish, really pleasant experience and would highly recommend anyone thinking of going fishing.We will be returning next year for a longer trip.

We booked the 3hr trip for a family of
4. It was a bit delayed heading out but we weren’t disappointed. We shared the boat with 6 others and Nick kept us all informed. Within 2 mins we caught a fish which was great. It went a little quiet (as is the nature of fishing…no guarantees) so we moved somewhere else. Nick was a great skipper (who is also involved with RNLI), and the time flew by. My eldest caught two and my wife (who has no interest in fishing) caught a cod!!!! Nick shared lots of interesting stories and we stayed out longer to give us more chances to catch stuff as well as letting the kids skipper the boat. We LOVED it. Thanks to Nick!!!Skippers Reponse: Many thanks for your time writing a review and hope to see you again
Many thanks Nick Gough
