Fishing & Tide Times for
Great Yarmouth, GB 🇬🇧

October Fishing Report

October brings cooler water and lively action around Great Yarmouth’s beaches and piers. Early autumn blows have kicked off the first runs of codling, with plentiful after-dark whiting and daytime dabs/flounder. The odd school bass still shows around the estuary mouths on calmer days.

Best results come from the flood into high water, especially after sunset. Target North Denes and Caister beaches for distance work, and try Gorleston and South Pier for mixed bags. Carry fresh lugworm and ragworm for whiting and flats, with squid or mackerel strip for codling; a peeler crab or fish bait can tempt a late bass.

Conditions are prime after a brisk northerly or easterly that colours the sea; a settling swell with 1–2 m surf is ideal. Use two-hook flappers for close-range whiting and dabs, and clipped-down rigs to punch baits beyond the breakers when the wind’s onshore.

Top tip: Keep baits small and fresh at night—thumb-nail worm or squid slivers on size 2–1 hooks will outfish bigger offerings when whiting are thick, while one larger, clipped bait at range can pick out a bonus codling.

Tide Station:
Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at 12:42 pm. Today we have 11:30 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Great Yarmouth area

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 2 beaches and bays in this area.

Hemsby Beach - 9.55698982592km , Cart Gap - 25.48992105654km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 1 main harbours in this area.

Southwold Harbour - 32.79439282756km
