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.

About the Skipper:

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 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!!!

    Had a great 3hr fishing trip this afternoon. Everyone caught loads of fish and Nick was a great skipper and very friendly and informative. He also filleted all our fish for us and we have just eaten it with some chips from the chip shop! Would definitely recommend this boat trip. Thanks again.
