Fishing the North Yorkshire Coast

With so many great seafood restuarants and cafés; pubs selling great local seafood; and fantastic fish 'n' chip shops on offer in Whitby, you may decide to catch some fish for your own dinner.

And there is plenty of sea fishing on offer to beginners or experienced anglers

Wreck Fishing

Head to Whitby for sea angling options in summer months; you'll find a no shortage of sandwich boards of fishermen touting their trips.

Boats can be hired for larger parties as well; with plenty of tips to be picked up from experienced Whitby fishermen.

Beach Casting

Here's a few spots to try.

• Sandsend - right off the beach;

• Staithes - At low tide large areas of flat rock are exposed to make good platforms from which to fish; or

• Whitby - The East and West Piers are great locations to sit and relax and wait for that bite.
