The club
WOSC has grown from a small group of local boatmen into one of the most active sport-fishing clubs on the Coromandel coast.
What matters most
1958
founded by local boatmen improving harbour access
600sqm
member-funded clubhouse expansion completed in 2014
NZSFC + IGFA
nationally recognised and internationally aligned
The club began in 1958 in a garage, when local boat owners came together to improve wharf and harbour facilities. Through working bees, fundraising, and persistence, members built the infrastructure themselves. That hard work laid the foundations for what WOSC is today.
Today, the club is a 600sqm waterfront hub. It's home to tournaments, dining, events, and a relaxed space for members and visitors. Whether you're here to compete or unwind, it's a place people keep coming back to.
WOSC is affiliated with NZSFC and IGFA, with a proud record of competitive sport fishing. Members compete year-round across tournaments, club days, and major events, including award-winning performances at national level.

Membership
Built for people who want consistency, standards, and a club that runs well week after week. Where everything just works, on the water, in the clubhouse, and behind the scenes.
Competition and performance
Fish a full competitive season with clear scoring across club events. Boat and angler points are tracked consistently, so progress is visible from first weigh-in to final standings. NZSFC and IGFA alignment keeps results credible beyond the club.
Club rhythm and events
The social calendar is active every week, with member draws on Friday and Saturday. Prize-givings and club nights bring crews together around real outcomes, not just casual catch-ups.
The clubhouse experience
The 600sqm waterfront clubhouse is built for time on and off the water, with dining, a full bar, and space to gather after a day out.
