...Please, do any of you guys know of ANY shore spots that are close by Colchester? Near Clacton? Or would I have to drop some quid on a beater and pay you guys a long ass drive visit in Portland and Weymouth and Dorset to get my spearing in? Let me know.

If I lived in Colchester (god forbid
), I'd be checking the
nearby coast -- & there is
a lot, close by too. I lived in & near Felixstowe & Ipswich for a couple of years -- and there is coast around there worth looking at (perhaps try somewhere near the
Felixstowe Ferry or
Languard Fort the coast looks interesting around Harwich too) [check out the multimap satellite images too]. It might also be worth check estuaries near Ipswich & Manningtree -- might need to be careful of tidal flows, mud, etc. -- there are some nice pubs around them that might make convenient entry points?!
A little further from, home you might check out the (Sussex?)
coast south of London (that does indeed include in and around Bognor). I believe Paul & Colin of
www.RobAllenEurope.com fish along that stretch pretty regularly -- check out some of the trip reports on their website.
The sea has been pretty murky in Dorset recently -- you might want to pick your time & location carefully if you are going to make that drive.
