ANSA's ethics

Obey and respect the local regulations and conventions that govern fishing in your chosen area.

Purposefully conduct yourself in such a manner so as to minimise any negative impact on the fish’s environment. Being mindful of anchoring and speed restrictions is as important as preventing littering, pollution and habitat destruction.

The angler’s environment should be protected as well as the fishes. Do not indulge in littering, in particular with discarded tackle. Disposal of offal and unwanted bait should be undertaken in a manner that is both environmentally sound and publicly acceptable.

Respect the rights and interests of others especially those other anglers and commercial fishers who are legally participating in the fishery.

Be aware of the relationship between the angler and their quarry and understand that the choice of the individual is important when dealing with a capture.

Respect the rights of property owners including those that exclude access for personal or cultural reasons and negotiate access to waters rather than trespass.

Participate where possible in scientific, educational and community programmes that benefit the fishery or recreational anglers.

Fish taken should be killed quickly and should be prepared and preserved in such manner as to minimise spoilage and waste. Where a fish is not wanted it should be returned in such manner as maximises its chances of survival. Wanton unnecessary destruction of undesired species is unacceptable.

ANSA NSW – Fee Structure 2023/2024

The ANSA NSW State Committee has decided that the following club and membership scale of fees will apply for the coming 2023/2024 financial year.

Club Affiliation Fee - $50
Family membership - $23
Seniors - $20
Students - $7
Juniors - $Free

The scale of fees for the coming year remains the same as in 2022/2023. Both ANSA National and NSW Branch have agreed not to increase their fees. Clubs should now be in a position to set their own fees for the coming year.

The current cost of living crisis is having an impact on families, thus annual fees have remained the same for 2023/2024. Notwithstanding this, we encourage you to chase old and new members. There are still promotional brochures available for free if required. Send me an email at jgred@bigpond.com with your postage details and I’ll send out some brochures to your club.

ANSA NSW has experienced some challenges with its membership data base, but we are now back on track. The ANSA NSW Committee has worked to address the member database problem and is hopeful of introducing a more club friendly process in the near future.
