From Chris Sweetland 02/05/2012:
Saturday night saw the April shore comp at West Bexington, 10 seniors and 2 juniors fished. The comp was fished in very strong north wind, with fish hard to come by. Fish caught on the night included Pout, Plaice, Dab, Dogfish, Rockling, a 6lb 3oz Common Smoothound for Dave Graham and 2 specimen Whiting, 1 for Froggy Franklin of 1lb 11oz and 1 for Elliot Driver (of the now famous Team Driver) of 1lb 11.5 oz. Congratulations to both Froggy and Elliot.

14 Members fished the April boat comp, only the 2nd time we have managed to get out this year. The weather was ok wind force 3 to 4 from the west north west then the showers started about dinner time and the wind increased. During the afternoon with wind against tide the sea roughed up but everyone stuck it out until 4pm. There was the usual fish caught: Wrasse, Pout, Whiting, Dogfish, Dab but the Mackerel was scarce. Calum Gribble had a good Pollack of 5lb 15ozs, Jo Westlake caught a Smoothound of 3lb13ozs; we don't see many of these out in deeper water because they tend to stay close to the shore . The best fish went to Les Bradbeer with a Pout 2lb 6ozs.

Entry forms for the Regatta Competition are now available from Dave Graham.
About us
BDSAA is a small local club based at Beer Social Club offering an informal focus for Sea Anglers in the area, we maintain a membership of about 40 people. We fish from both the shore and boat approximately once a month (next dates and venues on our “Fixtures page”). Primarily a species hunting club we concentrate our fishing to the greater Lyme Bay area in the main, but do venture out if a member has a particular wish to fish a specific venue. We regularly fish against other clubs, mainly those from East Devon i.e. Honiton and Lyme Regis, but would always welcome hosting a visiting club for a match. Check out our Cup Competitions. For Club record catches click here.
The club has been in existence since 1965 when it was simply known as the” Beer Fishing Club”, over the years it has kept to the same format of being informal, friendly and welcoming always of course maintaining it’s base in the beautiful picturesque village of Beer.
Our membership is drawn mainly from the Beer and Seaton area, however we do have members living as far a field as Taunton and Crewkerne in Somerset. Download a membership form in either
