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 2020/2021

The ANSA NSW Committee has reviewed the membership fee structure for the coming 2020/21 financial year and is delighted to announce that the following fees will apply from 1 July 2020.

Family Memberships $15 (previously $23)
Senior Members $14 (previously $20)
Student Members $0 (Previously $7)
Junior Members $0 (unchanged)

The reduction in fees is a combined result of ANSA National reducing its fees for 2020/202, which have been passed on the ANSA NSW members and ANSA NSW reducing its fee structure for 2020/2021. We understand that some members and their families might struggle as we come out of this pandemic, hence the fee reduction.

The new fee structure will be in place for the financial year 2020/2021 and will be reviewed in May 2021.

It is hoped that our member clubs pass on these fee concessions when setting their own fees for 2020/2021.
