  • 20/08/2024 Fishing Report by Nick Gough on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

    20 Aug 2024 by Nick Gough

    Report on-board Skylark

    Hour and two 3 hour trips


    Very strong south westerly winds today so most of today's fishing had to be close to the cliffs to avoid the winds as much as we could. Sea conditions were quite flat just a bit splashy and white water in areas where the wind could funnel through the land.


    On all the trips we fished a similar area which overall produced loads of mackerel and a good amount of Pollock.




    We tried many techniques throughout the day from drifting with lures to anchoring with bait when the wind freshened. Both techniques worked fairly well with neither really having a advantage apart from avoiding the mackerel with bait.

    While at anchor we manage to catch other species like Ballen wrasse, pouting and coalfish as well as a few Pollock.

    On the drift we mainly caugh mackerel and Pollock and a lonely weaver when had a tangle and drifted off the rock a fair bit

    Majority of the anglers today were first time anglers which seemed to enjoy the mixture of fish.
