Only been a couple of times , but a good spot is filey brigg ( think that's what its called ) bit of a dodgy trek to get there down some iron ladders on rock face so travel light but well worth it. Its based at end of the camping area ask anyone there they will point you in right direction

Have a look on here www.whitbyseaanglers.co.uk/?s=filey+brigg&x=0&y=0Bit early in the year for mackerel or bass but codling, pollack and billet should be around Don't be put off by the 'elf and safety stuff but be careful in wet weather it can get a bit slippery and don't get cut off by the incoming tide if you follow the rock ledges further out Beachcasters do fish the bay itself with some success especially after a blow |

Hi Bradley, I should hopefully be able to help you with a few things, as I do quite a lot of sea fishing. If you're looking for a decent place on Filey Brigg just drop down the main path the Brigg itself and cast out into the bay. Also as the tide starts to ebb, you can walk out around to the left of the Brigg and cast straight out to sea.  Make sure you are fully aware of tide times as it can be a bit sketchy! You can also fish all the way down to the point of the Brigg but it can get a bit dodgy down there though. Bait wise, you can't go far wrong with black lug and squid combos on a size 2/0 hook wrapped up with a lot of bait elastic to keep it all together and your hook point proud. Use a 6oz grip lead with a rotten-bottom link. Any more info let us know mate. Joe |

They are yeah. They lead down to a few marks on the north side of the Brigg.
I don't really use them as I don't have a good head for heights! But worth knowing where they are in case you get cut off like.

Yeah let us know.
If you can time it so you can fish the day after heavy wind and big tide it'll give you a better chance.
And an onshore wind would help even more :-)

Well I had a kind of productive day a couple of pollack with me being new to this sea fishing thing I was very happy it was very foggy and the sea was pretty rough so I didnt want to venture out too far out but I think I could get into this sea fishing. I had a few hours on brid pier too I caught about 8 dabs

Sounds good mate, glad you enjoyed it.
I absolutely love sea fishing; there is just something about it. You never really know what might show up either.
Nice one on the dab. Excellent eating :-)

Might give it a go this year I went camping last year at filey Briggs n crossed the road n walked down th i s pathway which led to the beach n saw people fishing off the rock pools to the left. Would be nice for a change?

Deffo!
It's completely different to fresh-weater fishing.
And there is nothing more satisfying than chucking a beachcaster out with a 7oz lead!
