Any body spear fishing on the kent coast.I would realy like to get in to it but am land locked in essex . kent coast is about 90 mins away so no problem there . I could realy do with some one to get me started.
 
Years ago I lived on the kent coast, and later essex. My memory is murky waters, but I was surfing then so would only go to the coast when a swell was running.

Joss bay / broadstairs springs to mind as possibly being your best bet. Essex? .. clacton / walton on the naze, but I can't imagine they offer great viz. I remember being in off the essex coast in raw sewage. Proper floating logs! , after the rain had overflowed the sewage treatment.

good luck.

Hi Pav, yeah bad viz and raw sewage.... think that just about says it all for the water around the essex coast. I kind of thought that I might come up with nothing about it but I had to ask!!
 
Don't give up hope!! people say you can't surf on the kent coast, but the die hard few still score waves. You just learn where and when.

I really think Joss bay and broadstairs are worth a look in the calm summer months. Post back during the summer and let us know how you get on. My bestman still lives in Kent, and although I love seeing him I find it hard leaving the west country. A sighting of a few Kent Bass may tempt me :)
