Mighty river separating Groleston to Great Yarmouth. Fairly deep waterwith pleanty of tide. I chose my location almost at the end of the pierfacing 90 degrees to nearby beach. Straight behind me are the rivers whichequally fishable. The flow however is too much for me and my line got alltwisted and nightmarish to manage.Satellite picture (google) showing fairly deep water at where I fished. Itgot relatively shallower on the river mouth and the sandbank almostnoticable by looking it the water surf and color.My first trip there (mid-January 08) was reasonably good. Managed to landplenty of codling, a crab and one unknown species. Unfortunately all wereundersize and the biggest one almost at 30 cm length. Start fishing duringafternoon which the tide is moving end. It seems to fished better at the lowtide and got fairly quiet as the tide is closing in to the full. It wasdrizzle all the way and southerly wind is blowing. Not the best conditionfor cod as I was being warned by the nearby tackleshop where I got my baitfrom. I was tipped that the bigger cod expected to be there in 3 4 weekstime which led to my second try there. I used quite a variation of bait 
withdouble hook rig. Lugworm work best and all the bite seems focused on theupper hook for some reason.Second trip brought me a bigger expectation. Decide to go fish at 2 + 2hours high tide. New moon so the water level difference is quite significantthe tide flowing much faster. Have to use 6 oz lead to hold my baitin-place. Weather was very nice, sunny and light wind blowing from twodifferent direction. Mainly still southerly wind. This time I was focusingon lugworm and fish at almost the same spot that I was before. 2 hourspassed, all I got was nibble but nothing hook. Ask around and so far thenonly 1 little codling were landed. At about noon time, other anglers start
pouring in. Knowing the tide flow condition, wind 'neighbour' report, Idecided to end my session early.What I would say about this spot is, there are much better other spot toexplore in East Anglia. Time to move on.
