NOSAC 2007

Organiser - Barry Davies

Venue: Deal, Near Dover, Kent
Date:   Saturday 17 November 2007
Time:   TBA
Entry:  £5.00

Local Organisers - Tony Wooding & Jason Swinerd - their report......

We have identified the best date for next year to be Saturday 17th of November. High tide is around 1530 so the competition would fish the tide up and over high water. The venue hosts the British Open every year so it is known to be a fruitful place to fish.

There is a pier but the beach will be a better option - shingle with a steep shelf (similar to Chesil beach in Dorset). Recent catches have included Codling, Whiting and some excellent Bass (several double figures including one of 15lbs).

The best spot will be fishing approx half a mile from the pier towards Thanet, near to Sandown Castle - fishing is comfortable and cars can be parked close to the beach.

A back up would be the beach at Hythe as if the venue at Deal is blown out it usually means that Hythe (around the corner if you look at a map of the area) will fish ok.

There are individual trophies for heaviest bag, round and flat, for first place through to third. The individual entry fee (£5.00) along with any profits from our raffles is spent on tackle prizes for these places. In addition, we have optional pools (£1.00 each pool), again split between the top three places.

As an optional extra we hold a team (of three) competition to add interest with the entry fees (£1.00 per team member) paying for replica trophies. There is also an optional team pool (£1.00 per member).

The CSSC NOSAC has evolved from the Individual Codling Championships that were held in Dover in 1993 and was first recognised by the CSSC as a national CSSC event in 1999. From 2005 the CSSC is providing a grant to help run our event in our own right. Being an 'open competition' no qualification is necessary and all CSSC members are welcome to come along and take part. Over the years the event has developed into an excellent social as well as sporting event, being held at venues around the shores of mainland Britain each year, usually in October or November.

NOSAC 2006

Organiser - Iain Colquhoun

Was held at Otterspool, Merseyside on Saturday 11 November between 11.00  & 17.00. Thirty One competitors started this event. Congratulations to those who managed to put up with the extreme windy conditions and caught fish. It was not easy fishing and those in among the trophies had to work hard for them.  Results

NOSAC 2005

Was held at the north beach Bridlington.
What a wonderful venue but the weather was not kind to us whipping up a gale for two days preceding the match. Many competitors spent a lot of time in the bar as the weed in the water from the storm made fishing almost impossible. Well done to the three lads who managed to land a fish and in particular Steve Ball for winning it and scooping the prizes!

Results: (only three fish landed)
1 Steve Ball Hassra North West - Whiting 32 cm
2 Adrian Thomas RCSL - Bass - 30 cm
3 Simon Saunders RCSL - Bass - 29 cm
