    Report on-board Skylark

    a Nice days fishing with a good set of lads.

    set off at 9.30 with unpleasant sea conditions and rain headed south to a wreck 5 mile from Scarborough, then we headed further south to wrecks a bit further off and we managed to get a fish nothing big but enough to keep us busy we managed to get a few ling and i got a nice Pollock on a shad then the sea deteriorated a bit more so we decided to have a go fishing in ravenscar.

    we were greeted by a small pod of porpoises which were feeding with their calf nearby. fishing started slow as the tide was hardy through, then as the tide picked up we all managed to get a few nibbles and a few fish. we were plagued with small lobsters but we were still managing to pick up a few fish around the 2-3 lb mark and a plump lessor spotted dog fish. then a few seals came in to see what we were doing and the fishing slowed down again.

    unfortunately one of the anglers just couldn't seam to get a bite never mind a fish.

    so as fishing slowed we decided to give cloughton a go, with in minutes the poor lad who just couldn't understand his luck and managed to wind two cod in one after the other.

    by this point the weather picked up and the sea flattened off and we had a nice steam back.
