charlesa Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 And there was I thinking that the OP wanted to know about the fishing above PH bridge, silly me ! However as Victoryv says above there is nothing of note up there anyway. Rather than waste endless hours debating how to wreck a beautiful ancient bridge how about, as I have said on many occasions before, hiring a Janet/Judith/Juliette/Silver Jubilee/ Tumblehome from Martham: End of......

Victoryv Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 August bank holiday monday, coming back from the excellent Beccles wooden boat do, it was like having the key to a past world of peace and calm getting under that bridge. Long may it stand. Its there for everybody to enjoy, just adjust! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking23 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 We were one of the first hirers to have a TV on a boat lol...who remembers the little red metal cased Russian Rigonda 5" black and white tv's, back in the early 70's we took ours with us with a 12' lead, with a fuse of course lol, In the 70's, TV's on hire craft were an optional extra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 If the Norfolk broads are 125miles- how much of that is above Potter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hi Matt, I would guess all told 10 to 12 miles. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 So not far off 10% of the system. Similar sort of percentage to the private toll rise. I smell the answer............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Rather than waste endless hours debating how to wreck a beautiful ancient bridge how about, as I have said on many occasions before, hiring a Janet/Judith/Juliette/Silver Jubilee/ Tumblehome from Martham: Two points here. 1) Raising PHB by 9" to a foot using the same stone would far from wreck it, to the eye it would look just the same. 2) Lots of craft including 'B.A' and the Martham fleet were designed to pass under PHB. Now just why should we be denied an area that our boats were designed to visit just because the Ba ceased regular dredging of the lower Bure? More fishing hotspots required please peeps Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 There would appear to be a 'hotspot' next to the Southern Comfort mooring. Either the guy we were watching yesterday had found one slow-learning fish or at leat 5 of them came out in as many minutes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 So 'Southern Comforts' mooring is now above PHB is it? Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildfuzz Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I can get under PHB at all states of the tide, keeps the hire boats away its like a barrier between two worlds when you come from the tranquility above into potter itself and the carnage on a busy summers afternoon, a bit like going from Norfolk roads onto the M25.......
