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.

    Great 6 hour trip on skylark. Nice to fish different ground to the Whitby charters. The tides were massive and most charters weren't sailing but Nick managed to put on a good trip on rough ground due to his great knowledge of the area. Great to see and catch some great fish so close to shore. It was slow at times on this particular day but luckily I got the lion's share and Nick sorted me out with some lovely fillets to take home.
