Clubs

The Individuals Sea Angling Club was formed by Trevor Sutch, `Mr ISAC` in 1997, and has been run by him as a small business venture ever since. Trevor invested £10,000 of his own money on retirement into his club ISAC, and with much hard work and dedication to the sport, he now runs what is widely accepted by the leading sea anglers in the country, as the top sea angling club in England.

Since 1997 ISAC have promoted the Hants & Dorset Premier League, a monthly open shore league competition that is sponsored by Ultima, Zziplex, and the South`s leading tackle shops, not to mention one of Portsmouth`s top charter boats and bait suppliers.

Over 600 sea anglers have fished in these matches which has generated almost £70,000 in cash awards as well as over £20,000 in sponsor awards. Many entrants have gone on to represent their countries at International levels as a result of their participation in ISAC events.

The club also hosts monthly boat competitions and a hugely popular boat and shore specimen fish championship based on members catch returns throughout the year. As a result of this, ISAC`s 120 members have recieved the honour of becoming the NFSA Affiliated Club Specimen Champions for the 5th consecutive year from 1998 to 2002, an outstanding sea angling success story.

Membership is just 5 pounds, and you can join by completing the form on this page. It includes a cloth and metal pin badge as well as a 32 page monthly journal sent to your home address.

The club has a small but expanding membership and the members are keen to maintain the friendly atmosphere.

Club Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month in the Fisherman’s Joy, East Street, Selsey. Either come along to one of the monthly meetings and obtain a membership form, or contact one of the officials listed below. Complete the form and return it to one of the Club officials along with the relevant membership fee - £5 for adults or £1 for Juniors (under 16).

The Wessex Specimen Group

The wessex specimen group was formed in November 2003 by Jay Bowditch and Paul Thomas who have spent many years fishing in the wessex region. It was felt that there was a shortfall in clubs who cater for specimen anglers and match anglers and so have now introduced a club with there own specimen award scheme and twelve shore fixtures a year. Although the WSG is based in Southampton the group welcomes members from the whole Wessex region and keeps in touch with its members via the web and newsletter sent every other month.

The WSG has a revised specimen award scheme with its own sizes for every UK region including the channel islands. Each claim must be produced with at least one witness of capture and a photograph before a certificate will be issued and entered into our specimen league. Any claims above NFSA specimen sizes will automatically entered into that scheme.

Our shore competitions are held on venues from the westerly fringes of West Sussex through to the steep shelving beaches of Dorset`s Chesil beach. The wide variety of venues allows a very mixed approach to members technique. From flounders, eels and mullet in the Solent's estuary's to whiting, rays and codling on the open beaches makes our league a great challenge to even the most experienced anglers. Competitions are fished on a six hour basis and entrance fees are £7 plus £1 optional pool. We permit the use of one rod and three hooks fishing to NFSA minimum size limits.

You can become a valued member of the WSG for the annual fee of £10 payable in January or join for a part year at a reduced rate. Whilst not essential, it is preferred that prospective members are already attached to the NFSA through individual or personal membership.

Please feel free to contact us if you require any further information.
