Hopton beach Norfolk

[OldGreyDog]

We are having a few days awol at Hopton soon and i’m aiming to have a little go chucking lures in the water. Is it worth trying around the stone breakwaters for bass? From the usual online maps it looks as though its worth a try - i’m thinking seekers, weighted soft lures unless its unusually calm.

Sounds like a plan.Tight lines for when you go.

I don't fish that particular stretch of the coast, but have a few mates that fish Lowestoft and further south. There's plenty coming out to bait at the minute, some nice bass and plenty of thornback rays.
I have seen the odd report on other forums from people lire fishing the Norfolk coast, but I think they seem to venture further north where the water has a amount of clarity.
I'd guess hopton will be quite coloured, not sure how much that will impact lure fishing?

Thank you. Coloured water and lure fishing - not a good match…

Only got an hour in chucking a seeker’ in the vegetable soup (water) on our last evening there - blanked as expected. Going back for a week at the beginning of October, hopefully there might be one or two still about!

Pity you blanked, tight lines for next time

Never mind, there’s always another day. A couple of hours on my local patch on Monday went better though - beached a feisty 48cm bass.
