Above is a photo of Trevor Rooney. The picture was taken in November 1975 (2 Weeks before Tony's Tackle Shop Open). Therefore the picture was taken by Bob Clark outside his well known tackle shop on Langney Road, Eastbourne.
Trevor landed the Cod the night before, during a Trade Union Club angling section competition. On the scales it weighed 21lb 8oz.
Trevor was fishing 2 beaches West of the Langney Point outfall, the Cod picked up his Lugworm bait on a Size 2 Limerick hook.
Trevor had no car then, he had a scooter (a Lambretta GT200). He had to tie the Cod across the spare tyre rack.
Happy Days!!
Trevor Rooney caught these 2 Grey Mullet, 5lb 14oz and 4lb 9oz, while fishing on top of the Princes Park Outfall Pipe.He ground baited with mashed bread, and used bread flake on a light quiver rod. The largest Mullet actually ran up the pipe, but Trevor held on, and it came back out. Photo by Nick May.
Richard Cowderoy with a 6lb Bass caught at Langley Point.
Tony Kirrage with 3 very nice Bass and made the front page of the "Angling Times" in April 1981, the headline printed with the photo read, "Eastbourne Tackle Dealer and Sea Match Angler looks pleased after taking these 3 Bass from the Sugar Loaf on Eastbourne Beach".
The Weights are 9lb 1oz, 8lb 5oz and 7lb 14oz.
These were all caught in a 3 hour session and also included a silver eel of over 2lbs.
1st place with a massive plaice.
Tony Kirrage caught this lovely Plaice, a whopping 4lb 2oz from the shore, winning the Alan Ray Open with £1000.00 prize money which he shared with his mates.
Ian Hopper with a 4lb 8oz Bass, this was caught during Keith Erridge's Flounder match on the River Ouse in April 2009, it couldn't be counted in the match, but a very nice fish to catch.

Ben Blackford with a 4lb 5oz 4dr Codling
Tony Kirrage with 2 nice cod, the biggest is 6lb 13oz 2dr
Steve Frost with a 7lb 4dr Bass, sadly this fish was caught during a Cod & Whiting Competition, so nothing was won with it, typical.
Steve Frost got it right this time, this specimen Flounder, weighed 2lb 2oz 8dr, it helped him win the OFFICERS CUP on Sunday 17th January 2010, it was also steve's personal best flounder, his very first specimen fish, and a NEW CLUB RECORD. Also, in the same catch of fish was a 1lb 9oz flounder (see picture below), and 2 smaller flounders, total weight was 4lb 8oz.

Rod Reynolds had been out of beach fishing for 2 years, in March Rod came back to beach fishing and joined, On his 1st Competition he stitched us all up, not only did he win the competition, but, he won it in style with this fine 6lb 4oz cod.
Trust Tony Kirrage to go one better, the competition after Rod Reynolds caught his cod, Tony had to beat it, by catching this really great 8lb 2oz 2dr Cod.
Phil Chapman with a 7lb 2oz bass
Luke Grote with a 2lb 1oz 8dr Whiting, a CLUB RECORD
Tony Waters with a 1lb 4oz Dab, he caught this while fishing a Haywoods Heath club competition on January 23rd at the Woodyard, Normans Bay, Tony went on to win the comp with 5lb 6oz, this was made up of 9 Dabs, 2 Flounders and a Ling.
Carl Howard came to a Nomads competition with Simon Watkins, when asked if Carl was joining in the competion, he replied no, he just wanted to fish with his friend Simon. The competition was won jointly by Dan Wood & Steve Frost, with a weight of 1lb 6oz, Carl's Bass weighed 5lb 15oz, he was told he would have won easily had he been in the competition. Carl joined the Nomads at the next competition.
Dan Wood becomes Dan Did.
Dan Wood and Ian Hopper went for a bit of Mullet fishing. Dan out fished Ian, and had a much better day, he caught this fantastic mullet weighing in at a whopping 6lb 6oz. It's definitely a NEW NOMADS CLUB RECORD, and possibly a record for Eastbourne. Ian did get a mullet, but i wont embarace him by putting a photo on here. but photo's of it are available by request.
2011 for the Nomads was Codless. It's only the 2nd competition into 2012 and Dan has decided that we are not having another year like that. So to make sure the Cod Cup doesn't get left out again, he caught this 3lb 15oz 3dr Codling. Well done Dan.
