Hartley skeer to the right,this is the hole to the left of Hartley skeer chapmans or nicknamed broken leg ,used to be able to cast into the gully from the top of the cliff next to the small caravan site till it crumbled away in the late 70s,80s. davy.

fairly deep but a moderate sea best on small tides,you don't want it to big,have had 5,or 6lbs in daylight on flat seas, know other lads who have had small doublers around 10 or 11 ib but not surprised if lads have had bigger ones and kept it to themselves,a mark that's not fished that often now as they tend to head to collywell and the crag. davy.
It pays to read properly doh! I thought he meant this was the crescent and he was fishing after having a broken leg. Always thought of it as a high water mark off the cliff top. The skeer itself is a great mark in a big sea. Had some lovely fish from there and lost a few too. There's a few wicked ledges to get your fish over and some lovely weed at times. Very underrated mark. Collywell area also seems to have gone out of favour. It looked lovely on sat.

think you must mean the bockhouse there used to be an airaid shelter there and you fished in front of it from the cliff into the devils hole you cant miss it as the grass is all trampled away,about 50yds from crag point,bit dodgy in the dark and a canny lift if you have a good fish on,,take care on this mark. davy.
No is before devils hole Stan, it's this side of the crag, is hardly a gulley, more a depression.
Fish it off the cliff top at high water just along from the crag, think its called block house hole, Steve Sherman might be able to give you some advice on this shot if he sees the post.

Cheers for the advice. Slightly unrelated but found this doing a bit of googling on the area. Found it quite interesting not being from the area.

Just to the left of the crag on the pic, go down the grassy bank and it's quite comfortable. Only enough room for two anglers though, had some good nights on there me and Mitch. You can fish it from further along the cliff top as well obviously.
As chukka says, collywell seems to have falling out of favour but we fish it and do pretty well there to be honest. Another high water shot round the corner from the crag can also throw out some nice fish too.

The leg still my fav high water chuck on a big sea. Had good bags from here and good stamp aswell with a few high doubles from it. As dave said need a neap tide on a good sea because when its big and a big tide it pushes u up to the cliff face and u can't get back with nowhere to go.
Even had fish to 6lb at low on the end of the skeer chucking 2 the opening. U can also b overun with rockling in the hole end big ones they give u a hell of a hit. Prefur it on a southeasterly when I have had the bigger fish but also good on northerly's.
