Moved to Sandgate, Kent

My knowledge is a bit rusty (try thr forum suggested) but...
never shore fished folkstone, but the charter fleet has always been ok for
deep water.

Where spoil from chunnel was dumped- that Derek mentioned above - is
Samphire Hoe. Off the main coast road from Folkstone to Dover - signposted
with brown area of interest sign. Not fished it myself, but the area is
concreted over, I think safety rail and toilet block. Fishing can be
generally good, but I am told there are underwater snags and obstructions.
Dover harbour walls - Admiralty (by rail station, over-populated with
mackeral hunters in season), Breakwater (get the boat out there 8am returns
4pm for £5 I think, only at weekends - probably the best of the 3), and
Prince of Wales (quiet, inside the harbour).

going west of sandgate/folkstone -
Princes Parade Hythe, can be a hotspot
Dymchurch - very shallow beaches
Then Dungeness - arguably the best beach fishing in this section

Moved from Brixham, Devon and am now in Folkestone. There seems to be
miles of beaches locally but it's very different terrain to Berry Head
etc.

Does anyone here know Folkestone, Sandgate etc. Any tips, good spots,
baits or techniques?

I used to really enjoy very light tackle, a very "flicky" rod and a small
lure for Mackerel and Bass in Devon. Is this a viable technique on the
beaches of the South East? All I've seen here are giant beachcasters
blasting a large chunk of lead at the horizon.... not my cup of tea at
all....

Cheers!!!!
