                                                      A closer shot of the 3lb 5oz Codling.

 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".

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.

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.
