Glad that you are fishing mate. I haven’t fished it this year yet so looking forward to tomorrow. In the past it has been won with bream when I fished. Either from Thurne Mouth or the pump half way down the section from St Bennets. Once it was won from just upstream of St Bennets. I also recall Tony Gibbons have a winning weight 24lb from memory of roach on a stick float. Most of the catches were roach though and they won most sections on the pole. Depths are only about 6 foot except on the humps downstream of St B where there is deep water on your bank.
Although Simon said the roach haven’t shown too much this year if I were going for them I would be inclined to fish pole at 11 to metres. There is a lot more boat traffic on the Bure than the Yare. It is not very deep compared with the Yare either. Usual tactics I believe are G/B with casters and hemp. 1 1/2 gram floats will be enough. High water sometime between 12 and 1 I think.
I will fish the feeder for bream and skimmers no matter where I draw. 30 gram feeders are enough in most cases, and although the tides are now building again they shouldn’t be too much tide Saturday. Instead of 12’s and 14’s I will use 14’s and 16’s unless I start getting big bream. Hope that helps a bit
