Buddy for fishin London / south of Lodon

[Warbeast]

Hello Guys and Gals,
i', going to work and live in the London / South London area for 3 Weeks from the 15th of April to the 5th of May.

I read that fishing in the Uk in Tidal Areas is no problem.
So in this Topic i search some locals that may be so kind to show me how its done in the Uk.

I'm an average Freediver, 28, with an aida lvl 2 badge and familiar with the operation of a speargun, but never catched a fish. I have a %mm open Cell suit. I would need to use public transport in the uk mostly, so driving togther would be awesome.

If there are some spearos or free divers willing to teach me some tricks and maybe catch some fish, that would make my UK experience really complete.

Feel free to post and wish you all a nice weekend.

Speargun for UK coastal waters: 75-95cm (I have 85cm).
Lots of fish in UK, more than Mediterranean Sea, but visibility is mostly pore in here.
From London easiest to access is Brighton (1h by train for £15 return ticket).
I don have car myself, so diving mostly under Brighton Piers.
A lot clearer waters are further west Devon & Dorset (3-5hours by car, but to expensive & too long by train)

... I hab ja also kein PKW. Ich lebe in London 6 Jahren. Ich hab meinen Tauchschen 15 Jahren, seit ich in Stuttgart gelebt habe.
Ich bin ja auch "Spearo" Beginner. Obwoll ich shon complette "Spearo's" erstattung habe, jedes mein tauchgang bis jetzt war nur einen Apnea trening, lerning menen waffe zu laden und fich behaltung zu oberachten.
Sorry, Ich habe kein Deutch 6 Jahren gesprochen
Fiel glu"ck Phil
