(07/01/24) Our first boat match of the year was dominated by whiting, with Rob Walker landing the heaviest fish at 1lb 12oz. A few dogfish made up the rest of the weights.
(15/07/23) Our July match was moved to Selsey East beach after gusting 60-70mph winds were forecast. Just four brave souls made the trip. Two undulate rays were caught before conditions ended the match early.
(21/05/23) It was a very breezy start for our 'Bream Only' match but there was a decent number of fish biting with over 130lb in weight landed on the day, as well as a few snap-offs from hounds !!!
(06/05/23) The May match was fished in Stokes Bay with the majority of anglers making the walk to Gilkicker point. The dogfish kept coming throughout the night with 55 caught in total between the 10 anglers taking part.
(30/04/23) It was a nice day for our April trip and there were a few hounds caught as well as a few other species. Paul Bray landed the biggest fish of the day with a hound of 10lb 14oz.
(29/01/23) First trip of 2023 and Adrian Carter landed this dab on the first drop, to follow his first cast dab from the Eastney beach match a weekend earlier. Strap congers kept everyone busy for the rest of the day.
(04/12/22) Our final trip of the year started out cold and rough but improved through the day. Dogs & whiting were the order of the day right up until the last hour which saw a flurry of rays including this fine 21lb blonde for Paul Bray .

We are a sea angling club in its 56th year located in Hayling Island on the south coast of Hampshire offering both beach and boat match fishing throughout the year for both competition and pleasure minded anglers. We also have a junior section which includes a beach series running through the spring and summer period as well as an open boat competition.
As well as fishing we also run a number of social events throughout the calendar including skittles evenings and quiz nights.
Our membership includes anglers from Berkshire, Surrey and London as well as our local areas and we are always looking out for new members, senior and juniors alike. Further details are available on the membership page of this website.
Our boat fishing is concentrated in the solent area with monthly competitions throughout the year on Sundays. We have matches dedicated to rays, bream and a species hunt as well as general fishing. Fishing is either aboard one of two charter boats based in Langstone Harbour or from private boats. The main species caught are smoothounds (individual match weights of up to 200lb are common), black bream, bass, rays, whiting and pout, and of course there are plenty of doggies!! There are also annual trips organised targeting specific species such as tope, bass and plaice
Our beach fishing consists of twelve monthly competitions throughout the year fished at various venues from Southampton Water, Lee-on-the-Solent and Gosport to the west, through to Selsey, Pagham and Goring to the east, as well as our own very productive beach which produces good numbers of smoothound throughout the summer months as well as dogfish, bass, plaice & rays with whiting and the odd codling making up the numbers during the winter.
We also run a series of junior beach matches on the island throughout the spring and summer months.
