President’s Report First off let me say welcome to the ANSA NSW 2012/ 2013 Annual Report and let me take this opportunity to thank all those who put their hands up to keep the clubs going. Thank those who put their hands up to take the fight up at a state level and keep the fires going and the hard workers behind the scenes who keep the boilers stoked thus keeping ANSA NSW going. It is a massive effort every year that culminates in our Annual Report back to the members, the lifeblood of our organisation.
It a huge testament to the fact that the ANSA brand is recognisable through our advocacy, leadership, projects such as Angel Rings and Fishing 4 Therapy and is constantly seeking and giving advice to the Government of the day, mindful of the fact that sometimes the sneaky buggers do what they want but that’s does not stop us or force us to put up the white flag. Rather we keep fighting the good fight as custodians and good stewards of our marine environment in NSW.
Once again it is the hard work at the State Level that needs to be recognised with all the committee members chipping in to help. Some jobs require more recognition and the work Joe Garufi puts in as Secretary is monumental, equal to the work Shane Jasprizza does as our Recorder, Ray Buttigieg as Membership Officer and let’s not forget Tony Steiner who graduated from Special Project to our new Treasurer. Along with another new face, Tony was joined by Craig Wilson as our Environmental guru. Young Max Castle as Masters Keeper. Rob Sinclair who is bright eyed and bushy tailed, and then the old buggers like John “JB” Burgess, Yanko Serifi and myself to take up the slack. It has been an enlightening and successful year for us and the fact we are all still great mates says it all. We enjoy the work we do even though it can get overwhelming and sometimes we all sit back and say “ we are only volunteers” and then get straight back into it!
I do have my moments of inspirational leadership as well (sometimes that is!) and you will often finding me saying this when the chips are stacked against us. When all seems lost when dealing with Governments;
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (and women) to do nothing.” Edmund Burke.
I could have left that on the page and not written a report at all on reflection and still made the point I want to make. The past year has been one of the most confrontational for us as anglers both here in NSW and on the Commonwealth level. The erosion of our access to fish and the waters being taken away as far too often on the back of anglers being blamed for the health of our environment and increasingly becoming the scapegoats for a lack of science in making some of these decisions that stop us fishing. So the questions we all get asked at the State level is why we put our hands up and take on these fights. My standard response is that quoted above. It is almost my mantra when dealing with Fisheries Managers, Researchers, Politicians and most of the community who don’t fish.
In saying that it should also be the mantra of what we do at our club levels, because this grass roots push is what drives us at the next level and be mindful of the fact that all of us on the State Executive belong to clubs and most often sit on our own clubs committees and understand the challenges at a Club level that lead to a successful and cohesive club.
6 | P a g e
We join a club for the social aspect and over the years develop a network of friends all over the place and come together to fish at Conventions and share a fishy tale at a Presentation or AGM. Like most things, even at a club level there is a multitude of jobs to do and then on top of that, respond to the constant barrage of threats to our sport. We also join to learn and when we have learnt we teach, so we must not forget this and constantly push for new members. Who knows they could turn out to be future club presidents. So hats off to you guys. I know what it takes to keep things running and if we let go of it, they would have one on us and call us a bunch of disjointed, non-aligned, ignorant and weekend hacks, that just kill fish and are not worth talking to.
Finally, it’s not about the battle of good vs. evil, rather the fact a few put their hands up to keep things running smoothly and they should also be thankful to those around them for being part of the ANSA NSW family. This is also worth fighting for.
This year make it your job to take a long hard look at the succession challenges we are all facing. That is, young and vibrant people to take up the leadership reins at your club level, reinvigorate and reinvent things and don’t forget that we at the state level need to do the same thing as well.
Tight Lines,
Stan Konstantaras President ANSA NSW

Vice President’s Report Another challenging and busy year for ANSA at both a Branch and National level. Listed below is a snapshot of some of the many issues concerning recreational fishing that ANSA has been actively involved in over the past year
Cronulla Fisheries. Despite a strong campaign to stop the closure of Cronulla Fisheries, including ANSA appearing before an Upper House inquiry, the closure went ahead with a resultant loss of over 100 staff that were not prepared to relocate to regional offices. The loss of so many key research and management staff has had an obvious impact on Fisheries. Those that have stayed on are doing a great job under difficult circumstances. Thankfully the department is now in the process of recruiting new staff and time will hopefully see Fisheries back on top of its brief.
NSW Marine Parks. ANSA did participate in the independent audit of marine parks and we have had preliminary meetings with the members of the newly formed NSW Marine Estate Management Authority and the Marine Expert Knowledge panel which have been set up to replace the NSW Marine Parks Authority and to manage the entire NSW marine estate which includes all coastal waters, estuaries and beaches. One of the immediate benefits to come from all of these activities was an amnesty to allow recreational line fishing from ocean beaches and headlands in most marine park sanctuary zones. An assessment of the impacts of this amnesty is currently in process. ANSA has high hopes that these new bodies will engage with recreational fishers and that the outcome will be a better coordinated management of our marine estate with proper regard to recreational fishing as an important socio economic activity.
Grey Nurse Sharks. ANSA has had a long and active role in the management of GNS and we did participate in the NSW review of GNS Critical Habitat Zones and the type of fishing activity and tackle allowed in some of these zones. Outcomes of these reviews saw the revocation of GNS critical habitat at bass Point and modification of the shape of the habitat zone at magic Point (Maroubra) and Green Island (South West Rocks). Land based line fishing with bait is now allowed adjacent to these modified zones. ANSA is still engaged with the National GNS Recovery Plan and is hopeful this document will be publicly released soon - it has been in draft form since 2009.
Botany Bay. ANSA has been represented on a number of committees associated with the expansion of Port Botany. We have been fortunate to stop a number of proposals to restrict fishing access on waters adjacent to the port. The issue of compensation for loss of much of the bay (which is a recreational fishing haven) as part of the port reclamation has been a sore point for ANSA for many years. We have unsuccessfully pushed the compensation issue with a variety of responsible Ministers over the past decade. Now that the port has been privatised the NSW government has undertaken it will provide funding for the installation of 2 offshore artificial reefs south of Botany Bay as part of a compensation package. A similar off shore artificial reef compensation package has been negotiated for the south coast following privatisation of Port Kembla.
Caltex Dredging. ANSA has formally asked the Federal Environment Minister to intervene in the proposal by Caltex to dredge and expand its berthing facilities at Kurnell and to dispose of some 153000 cubic metres of TBT contaminated sediment by dumping the bulk of it at sea 10kmsouth east of Sydney Heads - TBT is a very toxic substance historically associated with anti fouling. NSW authorities have given a conditional green light to the dredging proposal but the dumping at sea requires Commonwealth approval. ANSA's preference is that the contaminated spoil be treated and disposed off at an appropriate land fill site. Compensatory offsets for loss of recreational fishing access will be sought from Caltex regardless of the outcome. Review of NSW saltwater/ Freshwater Fishing Rules. Both ANSA NSW and ANSA National have participated in the review process and have questioned the lack of science and purpose behind 8 | P a g e the proposed bag and size limit reviews which essentially involve a halving of bag limits for most bread and butter species. None of these species is under threat from recreational fishing or is overfished. There has been no evaluation of the conservation effectiveness of the rule changes introduced in 2007 or any assessment of the impact the reduced bag limit changes will have on recreational take if adopted and made law. Hopefully good common sense will prevail and any changes, if implemented, will have minimal impact on recreational fishers and will not infringe upon the capacity of recreational fishers to exercise value decisions on how many fish to take and keep. It's a matter of fact that 90% of all finfish captures come from landing of fewer than20 fish per angler per day and that only 1% of fishers rarely catch their bag limits. This is a standing testimony to recreational fisher conservation ethos which will persist regardless of bag limits. It is also naive to believe that these proposed regulations will reduce the incidence of illegal fishing and sale. These shamateurs have no regard for the law and will continue to act illicitly regardless of whatever bag and size limits are in place. Stronger compliance is what's needed to address this problem.
Boat Trailer Parking. Most owners of boats over 6m in length would probably be unaware that it is illegal to park a vehicle (including a trailer over 7.5m including whatever is loaded on the trailer) on a public road in a built up area for more than one hour. A number of Sydney coastal and harbour side councils have been pushing for some time have the National Road Rules amended so that they have very broad delegated powers to issue infringement notices and impose penalties for parking of boat trailers of any size on public roads. To date councils have not been given these powers but a Boat Trailer Working group was established by the NSW government last year to consider all options. A report and recommendations have been completed and these have yet to be decided upon by the NSW government. Regrettably though Councils do have the power under section 200 of the Road Rules to impose fines on parked trailers over 7.5m in length. Historically few councils have opted to exercise this delegated power until now. One eastern suburbs council has issued warning notices to all boat/ trailer rig owners over 7.5 m to move their boats off the road or face heavy fines. None of these trailers were parked unsafely and all were registered and in regular use. The concern now is that this precedent may spread to other councils. ANSA has taken this issue up with the NSW Minister for Roads and Ports and has requested ACORF to write to the NSW Fisheries Minister seeking her intercession. ANSA has also via its membership of Recfish and ARFF requested the intervention of all national and state recreational fishing peak bodies and the issue will be raised with the Federal Roads Minister. Rule 200 has application not just in NSW but across all states and territories. Hopefully we can get this sorted out before the cancer spreads.
National Marine Reserve Network. At a national level ANSA has worked closely with all commonwealth government agencies associated with the rollout of the national marine reserve network. Fortunately for NSW recreational fishers the declared marine reserve zones off the NSW coast are a long way off shore and not easily accessible by ordinary recreational vessels. Unfortunately though recreational fishers in WA and Qld did not fare as well as NSW with the Coral Sea "no fish" zones being about twice the size of the state of Victoria. ANSA in conjunction with all other national and state peak recreational fishing bodies has tried in vain to negotiate a better outcome for recreational fishers with the Federal Government. The roll out of the marine reserve network is now at the final stage of completion with the management plan regulations passed through the house of reps but still to go through the senate. Progress of the management plan through the senate has been put on hold because of the pending elections. Also the Coalition has a disallowance motion against the regulation listed with the senate. ANSA and other peak bodies have requested an immediate independent scientific review of the commonwealth marine reserve process and a more fisher friendly interpretation of IUCN11 categorisation which defines recreational fishing as an extractive industry and therefore a non allowable activity. It will be interesting to see what impact the election will have on the marine reserve rollout. ANSA will continue to be engaged in the marine reserve debate regardless of who is in power. 9 | P a g e
Supertrawler. Although ANSA and other like minded peak body groups have been successful in stopping the trawler from pillaging our bait fish stocks in southern waters , this threat keeps on resurfacing. Sea fish Tasmania, the company behind the planned use of the supertrawler to fish for small pelagic species in Australian waters has appealed to the Federal Court against the government's 2 year embargo on use of the supertrawler pending the outcome of a environmental impact assessment of the supertrawler’s operations. The Federal Court has not yet handed down a decision so let's hope that the legal system will keep the supertrawler well away from our small pelagic/bait fishery. If not then the battle will be on again.
Peak Body Representation. ANSA has maintained its presence on the NSW ACORF and Licence Trust Expenditure Committees albeit that the future structure and composition of both these bodies is likely to change in the near future. ANSA NSW is a driving force behind the RFA (NSW Recreational Fishing Alliance) and ANSA national is a full member of Recfish Australia and ARFF (Australian Recreational Fishing Foundation)which is a new peak body combining the membership of most established national recreational fishing peak bodies and industry bodies such as AFTA and the BIAA etc. ANSA holds board positions on both Recfish and ARFF. ANSA is also represented on a variety of state and national fishery management /advisory committees and working groups and is at the forefront on all issues affecting recreational fishing.
Fishing Safety. ANSA continues to take the lead on fishing safety issues both in NSW and nationally. The Angel Ring project which has save numerous lives in NSW is being rolled out nationally and ANSA has been at the forefront in the debate about the compulsory wearing of life jackets by land based fishers. President Stan Konstantaras will go into more detail on these issues in his report.
Thank you. ANSA could not undertake all of its activities if it were not for the very small team of dedicated volunteers at a branch and national level who generously give up their time to get involved in these issues. There are always openings and opportunities for new faces on the branch and national committees so why not take the plunge and get involved. It's a rewarding commitment.

Secretary/Club Liaison Officer’s Report Another challenging and eventful year. As a committee we have done our best to answer all the questions and defend our rights as anglers.
The committee has been proactive in ensuring important information concerning changes to fishing in the State of NSW, rule changes, competition updates and record updates got to our membership in a prompt and timely fashion. Our membership can be assured that ANSA has been well represented at both a State and Federal level.
Promotional Material Unfortunately our promotional offer with Columbia Sportswear ended this year. Columbia Sportswear was bought out and any deals in place, not through lack of trying, were not honoured.
Currently there are other ways to promote ANSA through your clubs and the community. ANSA National produced bumper stickers that were distributed to each branch members. ANSA NSW distributed these to al clubs. A new ANSA promotional brochure is available and there is always ANSA ware that can be purchased. If you need and more information on promotional gear, please get in contact with me.
Tightlines Bulletins The Tightlines bulletin is still in circulation, with several bulletins distributed throughout the year, the latest one being June 2013. We expect the next bulletin to be issued not long after this year’s delegates meeting, annual general meeting and the presentation night.
Committee Meetings The Committee meets quarterly during the fishing calendar year with its most recent meeting being August 2013. Don’t forget clubs are more than welcome to attend committee meetings as they see fit. It probably would not be a bad idea to come and see how things are run at a State level. It can be very rewarding and many hands make light work. We are always looking for new enthusiastic club members to join the committee and help run ANSA NSW.
The Email Database The ANSA NSW email database currently hosts all ANSA NSW affiliated Clubs. Most of the Clubs on the database have minimum one contact. In total, the database hosts more than 100 points of contact, which includes Sportfishing NSW members. As in previous years, the electronic mailing system has really helped ANSA NSW operate more efficiently, economically and has aided their capability for distributing up to date information quickly. Hundreds, if not thousands of emails are distributed to all our member clubs each year. If you are not receiving electronic information from ANSA NSW please let me know and I will most definitely add you as a contact to the database.
Concerns are still with the clubs channelling information onto their own members from ANSA NSW, but there is more and more evidence that it is happening. Some of the larger Clubs are passing on the information ANSA NSW sends out as they see necessary, but there are concerns with many of the other affiliated smaller clubs, especially those that do not put out a newsletter. Hence, what we would like to suggest, especially for the smaller clubs is that you give ANSA NSW as many email contacts as possible for your club members. Do not forget, ANSA NSW has an email protocol and your addresses will be used for distribution of ANSA NSW information only.
The Website. The ANSA NSW website is the central information hub for all ANSA NSW members. It is a vital tool for distributing information, so make sure you visit at least once a month for any new updates. Not all information is distributed direct via email.
11 | P a g e
The ANSA NSW website has been maintained regularly through the past 2012/2013 year and is currently up to date. Anything you would need to know about how ANSA NSW operates, how to start a club, how to join ANSA, competition updates, and record updates etc is on our website. We even have a photo gallery with some great photos of fish our members catch.
Facebook. ANSA NSW is always looking at ways to improve not only communication, but the distribution of information to its membership. Hence, ANSA NSW is now on Facebook. Our Facebook page is monitored regularly and is constantly updated with minute by minute information. Don’t forget to log on and like ANSA NSW on Facebook.
Another enjoyable year. I am always here to service our membership efficiently and effectively, so please do not be afraid to approach me about anything.
Keep safe,
Joe Garufi Secretary/Club Liaison Officer ANSA NSW Branch

Treasurer’s Report The following is my first Treasurers Report for the end of the 2012 / 2013 financial year since taking over the job from Shane. We finished the year with a deficit of $1664.55. This was due to an increase in insurances and the higher than expected costs in running promotions.
The main bank account is healthy with on hand funds of almost $8000.00. This will be supplemented from the newly arrived funds for the Angel Ring Project account. Some of these funds will be transferred to the main account to cover the costs incurred while waiting for grant funds to arrive.
The Angel Ring project account continues to have significant costs with the tracking / monitoring of the GPS equipt rings. This will continue in this trend, if not increase, due to more of these rings coming on line for 2013 / 2014.
Fishing 4 Therapy continues to grow and still is waiting for the approved grant funds of $21000.00. This will reimburse the cost of the trailer from the previous year and cover ongoing costs for the next year.
Thanks to Shane for his help during the year and for the next 12 months coming.
Regards,
Tony Steiner Treasurer ANSA NSW

Membership Registrar’s Report This will be my first and unfortunately last report as the ANSA NSW Membership Registrar.
Membership levels fell slightly in the 2012/13 year to 1,142, down from 1,175 in the previous year. However, the current membership levels are still higher than in the 2009/10 and 2010/11 years, so this is positive.
An important observation that I would like to make from my tenure as Membership Registrar is that ANSA NSW clubs need to make an attempt to utilise electronic communications to their fullest extent as a means of communicating with ANSA. It would be good if more clubs utilised Direct Deposit instead of cheques to make payments, and that membership lists be sent in electronic spreadsheet format. Some clubs are already doing this is and this is very much appreciated.
Using direct deposit as a payment method eliminates the need for cheques to pass through multiple hands. The current practice of sending cheques first to the membership registrar, to then be forwarded to the Treasurer is a time consuming process, and leaves opportunity for cheques to become misplaced. This process worked in the past when both the Treasure and Membership Registrar roles held by the same person, but now, with the positions being held by different people has proven to be inefficient.
When choosing to use direct deposit, please send an email to both the Treasurer and Membership registrar of your payment details and a reason for what the payment was for, as this will assist in the reconciliation of the bank account.
Sending membership information in electronic, spreadsheet form will also assist in the updating of our membership database in a more efficient manner, eliminating the need for manual entry.
When sending any membership related correspondence via the post, may I please ask that you address your correspondence to the ANSA NSW PO Box 481, Matraville NSW 2036 rather than sending to me directly.
Or alternatively, use the membership email account: [email protected]
In closing, I would like to thank the ANSA NSW committee for their support and assistance over the last 12 months.
Regards,
R. Buttigieg

Recorder’s Report Well, I successfully survived my first year as Recorder, thanks to Mike Spitzer for a great initiation and for assisting during the handover and throughout the year when I have been busy. I didn’t find the time to update Mike’s detailed statistics and comparisons; maybe next year. A summary of the season follows.
I hope everyone had a good fishing year in 2012-13, enjoyed the friendly competition amongst like-minded anglers and is as excited about the next fishing season as I am.
I urge everyone to do their best to actively participate in the competitions organised and run by your Committee and Clubs. The organising clubs put in a lot of effort to run Conventions and to some of these clubs, it is their main fund-raising activity to keep their club going. Some donate money to charity or to improving recreational fishing. Either way, Conventions are a great social event (and competition if you are that way inclined as well).
State Records Thirteen (13) new NSW Length Records were achieved in 2012-13, including 1 sub-junior, 5 junior and 7 senior records. State Records were claimed by members from 5 different clubs. The standout capture for me was a 930mm Tailor caught by Don Rayment in St Georges Basin.
Members also set 34 new NSW Line class Records in 2012-13. There were 4 sub-junior, 10 junior and 20 senior records, covering 24 different species. Members claiming Line class records were from 8 different clubs, with St George topping the charts with 9, Wollongong with 8 and Botany Bay and ALBAA with 5 records each.
12 Month Competition A total of 186 entries were received for the 12-Month comp in 2012-13, down from 231 entries last year. Sixty-nine (69) anglers from 11 different clubs submitted entries, compared to 89 anglers from 12 clubs last year.
The Club submitting the most entries was Wollongong (56), followed by Nowra (41) and ALBAA (33). The most popular species entered was Albacore with 27 entries (all in Tagging Division). The next most popular were Golden Perch (18 entries) and Australian Salmon (14).
Tagging was the most popular division (49 entries), followed by Sportfishing-Freshwater (14 entries) and the Landbased Game and Sportfishing-Boat Divisions receiving 12 entries each.
First, second and third places were awarded in all but one division (Junior Girl), which is a great result. There were some fantastic captures amongst the place-getters, including a couple of thousand-point fish and some cracking metre-plus kings. The flathead and carp didn’t crack the magical metre this year, but both winners weren’t far away.
Congratulations to all the place-getters in the 12-Month comp and congratulations once again to Wollongong, our champion club for 2012-13.
18 | P a g e
ANSA Convention Circuit (ACC) Once again the ACC was well attended and hotly contested. A total of 464 members from 23 different clubs attended conventions this year. The most represented club was South Sydney AFA, with 103 attendances at conventions, followed by Botany Bay with 58, Sea Bees with 56 and St George 34.
The number of anglers at each convention were as follows (ANSA members only):
Convention Attendees Glenbawn 96 Talbingo 32 Burrinjuck 124 Nowra 115 Narooma 77 Sydney 171 Lake Lyell 98 Total (ANSA) Attendance 713
I managed to attend 5 Conventions myself this year, only missing Burrinjuck and Lake Lyell. Without a doubt, Conventions are my favourite times and places to fish, mainly for the camaraderie and friendly competition. Each has their own special character (and bunch of characters running them) and I always look forward to caching up with the host club and fellow members, some of who I only get to see once a year.
Once again, congratulations to all the winners and new State Record holders for the year. I hope to join you numerous times in 2013-14 for a fish, a chat and/or a beer.
Good fishing and don’t forget to fill in your capture forms!!!

Masters Keeper’s Congratulations to all those who successfully received a Masters Award over the last fishing year 2011/12.
Masters were awarded in five categories over the last fishing year in Sportfishing, Lurefishing, Gamefishing, Tagging and Freshwater Impoundments.
In total there were ten Masters awarded which is a little down from last year but still a good result. The Canberra Club members achieved three masters, South Sydney, St George and Newcastle achieved two masters and Wollongong achieved one.
Specific details are as following:
Sportfishing Belinda Rayment – St George Sportfishing Club
All Tackle Length Phil Worsely - St George Sportfishing Club
Length Based Species Ken Martin – Sea Bees Boating Club
With my relocation to the South Coast (Tuross Heads) I intend passing the baton next year. Rob Sinclair from the Sea Bees has been on the State committee this year and hopefully Rob will take over the Masters role.
Thank you to all who have assisted me over the many years while performing this role.
There appears to be only a couple of clubs who chase their masters awards so if this ANSA achievement is to continue clubs need to encourage their members to record their achievements and submit the appropriate forms as I am sure there are numerous members out there who actually catch master fish but don’t submit the paper work.
Good and safe fishing to you all I hope you all have a great Presentation 2013 Night.
Cheers,
M. Castle

Angel Ring Coordinator’s Report I guess the easiest way to sum things up is to show you what work we have done over the past 12 months, just about on average I would say according to my records and that is about 25% of rings replaced, 2 new installations and 3 lives saved, just about average I would say…… three lives saved! 51 lives saved since we started in 1994, somehow I don’t think this is average, more like well above average for a group of fishos from ANSA NSW and hats off the guys who help me and the members of ANSA NSW that chip in. You will see the first ring replaced in the 2012/13 season involved Les Waldock coordinating a pick up from Moruya and then taking the ring down to Merimbula, a great effort and it’s the help we get from outside the Committee that makes our job a little easier.

This year has been a good one for us I hope you all take the time to read the updates we prepare and send out, hopefully more funding is on the way that will also us to cover our expenses and put in a few more track able angel rings out on the rocks to make the monitoring a bit easier. I also would like to see the clubs with rings in their area get a little more active in keeping an eye on them, most of us drive past them in our boats and they easy to spot so in 2013/2014 I will be sending updated maps out and asking you guys to report any missing so we can stay on top of things.
Finally a big thanks to the masters apprentice who passed the mantle on a while ago to me and after 19 years of doing this job and being responsible ( along with Bill Harvey who started it all in 1994) for saving a huge number of lives tells me that 2013 might be the year he hangs his last Angel Ring.
We will see Gordon, I am sure you will always keep a lookout from the corner of your eye when heading out to sea to check if the ones on your patch of coastal rocks are still there.

Gordon Jobson, 19 years and still going strong, thanks for your help buddy. You should be proud.

Special Projects Officer’s Report Our Fishing 4 Therapy Programme continues to run strongly and still receives allot of interest from many different groups, including some Government departments.
The fishing sessions are still run with the partnership of the Centennial Parklands Foundation maintaining our custom platform and allowing access to the new outdoor kitchen & entertaining space for bbq’s etc.
We are also looking at the possibility of having a second venue come on line for quarterly visits that will offer additional sessions for groups in the inner & outer western suburbs. All paper work for Insurances, OH & S and Management Strategies have been accepted with our first trial session looking to be held in early 2014. These will be run as a mirror image of our existing sessions and will be offered to those groups who help with Intellectual Disabilities.
Our grant funds are not through yet, but Stan has chased this up and we only have to submit some additional paper work and funds will be sent.
If there are any ANSA members who feel they can commit to regular visits to help with some of our sessions then your help would be greatly appreciated. Even once a month would be a huge help to the ongoing running of the sessions. If you can help or would like more info, please call or email Tony Steiner.
Thanks to the ANSA Committee for their ongoing support and help with this programme.
Tony Steiner Special Projects Officer ANSA NSW.

Environmental Officer’s Report I was going to write about what I thought to be the most important concerns for NSW anglers in coming years. Things like global warming and the acidification of the ocean, which sound so important but so insurmountable at the same time. Then there is overfishing, fishing up the food chain, fishing down the food chain, pollution and so on.
It could really be a very long list but I have instead distilled it to this:
1. The NSW Marine Estate initiative
This is a recently announced initiative flowing from the outcomes of the independent audit into NSW marine parks. It is not yet understood exactly what form it will take but importantly it aims to consider the usage of the entire coast for various purposes and interests including fishing and conservation. It marks a move away from our current thinking of the ocean as ‘public commons’ to a more restricted or limited use. Fishing as we know it will be less and less of a right and more of a privilege for the good citizens of NSW, bestowed on us by the government of the day. It really is an extraordinary policy initiative and it needs to be treated with the utmost care as well as caution by anglers.
On quick review the issue of exclusion from or exclusivity of our public waters is not limited to the NSW Marine Estate but is rather symptomatic of a general reaction by governments to deal with conflicting community interests all over the country. A few recent examples include: the acceleration of crown lands sell-off in NSW that may have an unintended consequence of privatizing established access to waterways; Booderee National Park closed access to most of their ocean facing rock platforms for fishing due to safety concerns that are not substantially different from anywhere else on the coast; the declaration of immense Commonwealth Marine Park sanctuary zones at the stroke of a minister’s pen which was simply too big a deal to have not been subject to parliamentary scrutiny; the same minister also suggested in parliament the idea of ‘marine offset areas’ for supporting the approvals of strategic port infrastructure in Queensland (This essentially means private developers paying for the establishment of marine conservation zones in areas removed from the port developments to ‘offset’ their negative impacts to the local marine environment); and Sydney Ferry jetties closed to fishing due to litter causing public nuisance; Numerous infrastructure developments Botany Bay creating larger and larger exclusion zones and degradation of habitat.
With the exception of Aboriginal titles, which need to be handled delicately due to community sensitivity, all other impositions against our fishing freedoms are best opposed with strong attitudes, forthright arguments and confrontation. Whether it is critical infrastructure developments, implausible environmental concerns, public safety or public nuisance, most arguments against us can be defeated if they are unjustified.
An inspiring thought is that the modus operandi of the more outlandish conservation groups, to create hysteria and demonize any opposition, does not work on us as it does big commercial enterprises. We are private citizens and genuine community groups. We can be just as hysterical as they can. They cannot easily bully us without it coming back to bite them three-fold as we represent ordinary Australians.
I am inspired also because it is easy enough to pick apart their arguments. If you sit down and work through them one-by-one the conservation case against recreational fishing in NSW doesn’t add up at all. There are exceptions of course where we need to be responsible however in the majority of cases the impacts of recreational fishing are exaggerated, undocumented, unknown, non-existent or imagined. The PC lobby is all too often found desperately wanting and confused when asked to demonstrate their specific concerns in a formal setting. So long as we have the patience to hold them to task we will win each time.
50 | P a g e
Brendan O’Neill who inspired me with these thoughts left me this line: “If they treat you like a heretic then act like a heretic.” This to me means not to be defeated by judgment without authority.
More inspiring still are similar sentiments on similar themes written by the great novelist Leo Tolstoy in the late 19th century against the PC lobby of his day: “And what has been established by public opinion can be destroyed by public opinion-and indeed, is being destroyed by public opinion.”
The recent amnesty on shore-based fishing in NSW marine parks is a very important development in the recognition of the NSW public’s expectations. If you don’t agree then consider that the issue brought about a change of government in New Zealand. Being able to fish from ocean rocks and beaches is after all common sense as the government put it. But this very issue will be the first to be considered in public consultations and policy deliberations of the new NSW Marine Estate board. This may therefore set the agenda for the remainder of the initiative. What will they advise the government to do with the coastal waters of NSW for our future? I can assure you that if we don’t fight for a say we won’t be heard. This is why I am a big supporter of ANSA NSW who goes to the trouble of representing anglers at the highest levels and why I got involved.
On the NSW Marine Estate it may be an opportunity to protect our rights indefinitely or alternatively to lose them forever. We need to be reasonably assured that we are not to be turning up to their scheduled meetings merely so that they can tick a community consultation box. We need to contest to the point that they require our consent to implement what they come up with.
And finally, for a lasting inspiration, this time from America’s original folk hero for liberty and the common man, Woody Guthrie.
From his song This land is your land: “There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me. The sign was painted, said private property. But on the other side, it didn’t say nothin! That side was made for you and me.”

Roy Winter Memorial Trophy Excellence in Rock Fishing
The inception of the Roy Winter Memorial Trophy occurred during the mid 1970’s when Mr and Mrs Winter presented the Perpetual Trophy to ANSA in memory of their son Roy who passed away in his early 20’s before he could achieve his fishing goals.
The trophy is not awarded as a matter of course each year but rather only when, if in the Committee’s opinion, a significant capture has been made from the rocks during the competition year. Entries are not called for with the winners name usually obtained from examining all rock captures made from the 12 Month Competition.
