Thunda Chucka 0 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Gday I was just thinking what people know what ANSA fishing is about! Could you let me know on what your understanding of it is or if you have no idea what ANSA is!To make it easier for those who don't want to write anything. Here is a poll.

Ranger 48 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I don't know a lot about it!It's our national sportsfishing association. It's been around for umpteen years, and about ten years in SA.I believe ANSA clubs, as well as offering sportfishing recognition for all types of fishing, are also involved in tagging programmes, promoting sustainable fishing practices, and promoting recreational fishing as a sport in this country.Actually, now that ya come to mention it, I recon I know very little about ANSA, and I wouldn't mind you explaining a bit more about it.

Ranger 48 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 A lot longer than that Ranger {SMILIES_PATH}/shocked.gif Might be closer to 30 I thinkHmm, seems I was close..............but no cigar! {SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gifI just had a look through that link (national history).

Bravado 0 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I just had a look through that link (national history). Founded in Cairns Feb 1967. In SA Sept 2001.Thats REALLY strange. I can recall seeing ANSA write ups in VERY early editions of SA Angler Magazine {SMILIES_PATH}/shocked.gif ooops are u allowed to mention that mag here {SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif I know I would have been threatened with excommunication from another site for such an indesgretion {SMILIES_PATH}/rolleyes.gif. Anyway I digress, and I used to fish under the ANSA banner way back in the early 90's with the NDSFC. Perhaps ANSA dont know themselves when they started where {SMILIES_PATH}/undecided.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thunda Chucka 0 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I found that some records start in 1977. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger 48 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 As mentioned, I really dont know that much about ANSA, so I'm happy to stand corrected. I think what's important here is what ANSA do, and how they go about doing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ospray 1 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Bravado, I dont think anyone on here will get upset by which ever magazine you read or get your info from, we are all bigger than that to bother about getting our t*ts in a tangle like some places, what we need on this site is people who are prepared to banter on about fishing, catching fish, and help everyone to learn and enjoy their fishing, those who want to be drop outs can cast their lines into some one elses pond.[/color:36kevume] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alanh 6 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I reckon 1977 would be about the markANSA struggled to get a foot hold in SA in the early days Around 1979 Whyalla Sportfishing Club was formed and became affiliated with ANSA, and then clubs in Adelaide got on board and ANSA in South Aust boomed.In recent years interest has waned but a new state committee has now been formed and a revival of ANSA in SA is on the way {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest xtrafishyfish Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Reckon 1977 would be very close and definately prior to 1980 here in SA. I reckon the first national ANSA convention for SA was held at Victor Harbour. About that time large Trout were coming out of the Onk. Gorge, Steve & George had just "opened" at Cavan and the blue Shakespeare 2040 Reels were "the reel". Light line fishing had come to town {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alanh 6 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I reckon the first national ANSA convention for SA was held at Victor HarbourFrom my knowledge and I will stand corrected if Im wrong but I think that was the second one. The first being held here at Whyalla at Weroona Bay and at the Point Lowly Lighthouse cotteges {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger 48 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Just for the members of NDSFC while we're here, I did a google search since this thread was put up, and found two NDSFC sites. One of which was isolated and quarantined by my virus check as a hidden trojan was found. It may pay ya to investigate this, coz I'd hate to see ya havin pc problems coz of it.
