Cloughton Wyke
is a small venue which is known for it's ability to throw
up some very good cod fishing during the right conditions.
Like Hayburn Wyke it is not for anyone with mobility problems.
The photo above shows the access point and
the rocks you have to climb over. About half way across the
rocks you can see a band where every rock is white. I believe
these are rocks covered in dried gull droppings, which are
extremely slippery.
It is not advisable to get too to the cliffs.
You're never going to stand a chance if a land slip like the
one photographed above comes down on you.
The ground at Cloughton Wyke is very rough and the only sensible
tackle to use is a good rock fishing rod and a suitable reel
loaded with 30-35lb mainline. A suitable reel would be a 7000
sized Abu, Daiwa SLOSH 30 (SL30SH) or a Penn 535. The rig
should incorporate a rotten bottom.
Caution:
Cloughton
Wyke is very rocky. Boots with plenty of ankle support are
a must. The rocks can also be very slippery and any boots
with metal studs will offer a distinct advantage.
