A dangerous place to fish.
Best fished over low water stay well away from parts of it after mid tide. Ships travelling up and down the channel can cause a big tidal wash taking you and your gear with it.

If you do decide to fish it do not obstruct gate and driveways the residents have had a lot of grief over the years from anglers trespassing.

Rag is good for flounder in the estuary here! Big cod run in the coldest months! If u ain't doin to well head down to the ferry and fish around passage, can be hit and miss tho! Good luck
