Id try the Royalty or the Throop for starters, once the weed dies down.
Also heard reports of good fish coming from certain ex mil. enclosed waters very near you ;)

Wouldn't bother about the Itchen 'free', I walked the whole length yest and never saw a single fish caught by anyone.
BUT....I did watch two individuals spinning tiny lures, one a Polish guy who I know to be a fish stealer was dropshotting small plastics, the other a local who didn't know the Sea Trout season had finished (even tho only coarse fishing is permitted).
Have heard of a near 2 from there this summer but, sadly, it will gone by now unless it learnt its lesson.

Hope this helps.
