What is the Atlanta Saltwater Sportsman's Club (aswsc.org)?

Updated

aswsc.org is the website of the Atlanta Saltwater Sportsman's Club, a membership-based saltwater fishing club. It is a community organization rather than a commercial charter or guide service: the site exists to keep members and prospective members informed about club meetings, tournaments, social events, standings, and member boats. If you are looking for a club to join, a tournament schedule to follow, or a sense of what the club's fishing community is like, this is the place to start.

What the club is

The Atlanta Saltwater Sportsman's Club is organized around saltwater angling, with an Atlanta-area base. The homepage highlights member catches — for example, a photo caption notes Club Member Austin Schmidt (left) and Dad with a 20.4 lb Club Record Scamp Grouper from October 2024 — which reflects the club's emphasis on recognizing member achievements on the water.

The site's own framing is social and participatory: "Let's Go Fishin'!" sits above the featured catch, and the navigation is built around club life rather than selling trips or products.

What the website covers

The navigation shows the main areas of club activity:

  • About Us – background on the club
  • Membership – how to join
  • Calendar – upcoming dates
  • Tournaments – competition information
  • Social Events – non-fishing gatherings
  • Scoreboard – results and standings
  • Club Meetings – meeting details
  • Information/FAQs – common questions
  • Our Supporters – club sponsors
  • Newsletters – club communications
  • Photos – member photos
  • Boat Roster – member boats
  • Recipes – cooking content
  • Links/Resources – external references
  • Contact Us – how to reach the club
  • Boats for Sale – member boat listings

Tournaments and scoreboards

The club runs both offshore and nearshore tournament programs, and the scoreboard section is split accordingly:

Category What it tracks
Offshore Scores Offshore tournament results
OS Tourn Winners Offshore tournament winners
OS BOY Standings Offshore Boat of the Year standings
OS AOY – Men's / Ladies / Junior Offshore Angler of the Year by division
Nearshore Scores Nearshore tournament results
NS Tourn Winners Nearshore tournament winners
NS Boat of the Year Nearshore Boat of the Year
NS AOY – Men's / Ladies / Junior Nearshore Angler of the Year by division

The separate men's, ladies', and junior divisions indicate the club structures competition so that different groups of members can compete and be recognized within their own categories.

Examples of upcoming activities

The homepage lists upcoming club activities, which shows the typical rhythm of club life:

  • Upcoming Club Meeting: Saturday, October 17, at The Tavern at Medlock, 3230 Medlock Bridge Rd #101, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092. The site notes more information is coming soon.
  • Upcoming Tournament: October 22–24, 2026, at Big Bend (St Marks), FL — Nearshore Tournament #2. The site provides a link for the application and tip sheet.

Two things stand out for anyone planning around these dates: meetings are held at an Atlanta-area venue, while tournaments can require travel to Florida fishing grounds. The club also publishes an application/tip-sheet link for tournaments, which is the practical entry point if you want to fish one.

Who it is for

This site is most useful if you:

  • Live in or near Atlanta and want to fish saltwater with an organized group
  • Are considering joining a club and want to see its activities, standings, and meeting schedule first
  • Are a current member checking tournament dates, scoreboards, or the boat roster
  • Want to follow club results and records without joining

It is not a booking site for guided trips, and nothing on the page indicates pricing, membership fees, or whether any content requires a login. Those details would need to come from the Membership or Contact pages.

How to use it

  1. Start with About Us and Membership to understand what joining involves.
  2. Check the Calendar and the homepage's upcoming activities for meeting and tournament dates.
  3. If a tournament interests you, follow the posted application/tip-sheet link for that event.
  4. Use Contact Us for questions the site does not answer, such as dues, eligibility, or meeting logistics.

The clearest signal of the club's character is the mix of record catches, meeting nights at a local tavern, and a full tournament scoreboard — it is a fishing community first.
