This could be the most exciting news to hit Recreational Fishing in a long time. I made mention of this in previous threads, but here is the official link to the media Release!http://afta.net.au/site/media.php?task=detail&id=0015This has me jumping up and down for joy!

Yes URHF....It is a welcome affiliation for sure. Lets see how much support we get here in SA though first? If this national group is serious they will need local delegates accross the whole country.This is why we either need to make SARFAC independent of Government funding or find a strong alliance with groups like this new body through local delegates.I have been a supporter of SARFAC of late but they do need to raise the bar if they want more holistic support in SA.

Just a thought and totally my own, will this Group be the new "Driver" for Government Lobbying, on behalf of all recreational fishers every where in Australia?

Time will tell mate. They will need to get in contact with SARFAC and other groups in SA if they want support from a regional perspective in each state. Unless they have local delegates aroud the whole country sending information the communication lines will breakdown.Big task but possible if fishers get off their backsides and help?TB

Potentially very exciting. Guess we'll have to wait and see how serious these guys are. Thanks UHF.
