The brave souls of the RWSAC generally fish out of Newhaven with the best bass-skipper in the business (and he's pretty good at everything else as well) Stu Arnold on Catchup III - a 40' Lochin. We used to fish lots with top eeling skipper Chris Martin, but sadly (unless you're a conger) he doesn't do it any more. We also fit in the odd trip with Pete and Dave Elliot on on Ocean Warrior II, an Aquastar 33', and it's true to say we like our skippers because they do the business for us time and again.
In summer we go eeling at anchor and drift fishing for cod (when the cod are about). We also fit in the odd bassing trip, and certain club members prefer to fish for black bream at anchor because "Conger eels are all big and scary". In winter we switch to codding and in spring we like to hit the pollack shoals, or more accurately, we miss them.
We also have our annual trips to Weymouth. We like to fit in one or two trips in the spring for plaice and turbot and in the summer we have a two-day fishing bonanza, with everything from rays, tope, huss, conger, wrasse, bass and bream through to the local Karaoke bars our target. We fish with Ken Leicester aboard the Bonwey and Richard English on One for his Nob.
We have some 40 members, many of whom know which way up to hold a fishing rod (as long as they're given a few hints) and one of whom once tied a knot all by himself (it lost him a fish of course, but it's the thought that counts).
The club is affiliated to the British Conger Club and several of our members have qualified for individual membership. For more information about the club or how to join our merry crew of miserable losers, you really ought to be on the Contact page. So what are you doing here?
