North Yorkshire

Boggle Hole

5.8· Rocks · North Yorkshire

Boggle Hole is a tidal, rocky North Yorkshire shore mark below the old mill and coastal path, with rough scars, kelp gullies and boulder-strewn ground rather than easy open beach fishing. Access is a walk down from the valley/car park area and fishing is best planned around a settled sea and workable tide; it is a classic rough-ground venue for codling and other rock-edge species, but snags, swell and the rising tide demand care.

Premium Mark Insight

Locked

Boggle Hole is a mobile, tide-conscious rough-ground mark rather than a cast-and-wait beach. Its fishing comes from locating workable kelp gullies, rough margins and the occasional cleaner sand or shingle gap, then matching tackle to the ground. A flooding tide is the key working period, but only after a low-water look at the foreshore and exit routes.

Fish the flood only after mapping Boggle Hole’s gullies and exits at low water.
Put cod baits on workable rough-ground edges, not straight into the thickest kelp.
Switch to cleaner gaps beside the scars for night whiting, pouting and dogfish chances.
Know when Boggle Hole is too exposed—and when to consider a nearby alternative.
