Filey Brigg

[Yorkshirelad]

As a regular Bridlington wall angler I was wondering if anyone on here fishes Filey Brigg on a regular basis.

Would it be worthwhile trying for any mackerel or any other species this summer.

Any info appreciated.

I did not get to the Brigg

i fished the drive (Scarborough ) for two nights And had one little codling And lost a nice fish had a Very good bites ever cast to Crab and worm

i am planning a trip to the east coast in july to fish the drive and brigg for cod and to the beaches past hornsea for the rays dogies and bass

is there any one up for the trip

Two bass this weekend, no sign of other summer species yet up here but the terns were diving for something so better fish will follow.

Tried for mackerel with feathers round the back of the brigg.

Lobbed a one hook rig 70 yds out, baited with mackerel/ squid.

Don't know if this is the tactic to use on this venue that's why I asked for any info.

for the mac's off the brig you need

a spinning rod ( carp )

small fixed spool with 6lb to 10lb line

 

a 1oz silver spinner About 8 will last a few weeks

i will be fishinrg there in a few week will let you all know when if you want to join me there
