Blimey thats a large estuary / river.

 

Cod up to the Orwell Bridge, some good ones if you can get out in a boat.

 

Carp can be caught as far down as Foxes Marina.

 

Small Bass every where, fly fishing only please

 

Flat fish every where, close in.

 

You might want to try Landguard point or view point

Hay, flat fish, not seen too many of them for a year or three!! Carp at Foxes, not seen that since I have lived in the area. Small whiting, school bass, the od dab and flounder, a keeper cod (just) or two if your are lucky, best on a boat in the Harbour. Flounder have all but disappeared in the past 3 or 4 years, heard it said the bass have cleaned out the flounder fry? Might coxe a sole at night? and of course, plenty of mullet in the summer.
