Day's Fishin Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Be careful this is a pay to fish site! (getfishing) If you want to fish comps all you have to do is join your local fishing club as they all have regular outings, and so do Fish Raider of which you are obviously a member.

savit Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thanks Fish Reaper. Do you know any local fishing club with free membership and regular competitions in / near Sydney? Sent from my couch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day's Fishin Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I know some up this way but a bit far for a N. Sydney boy. Google fishing clubs in your locallity and contact them. Most contact no's are supplied. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austwave Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Ansa has comps there are several clubs depending on your locality Edited October 1, 2016 by Austwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day's Fishin Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Ansa has comps there are several clubs depending on your locality Unless they have changed their rules since I fished ANSA comps, only fishing club members could fish their comps. Then again it was in the 70's that I was a member of eastern suburbs anglers and fished ANSA through that club! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 ANSA has clubs throughout Sydney but they are not free to join- like any other incorporated entity they have insurances, legal fees, accountancy fees, etc etc- so they are paid membership. There is also the Bream comp circuit - again there is a fee to join-you can look this up On the BETS webpage and the other one (forgotten the name). There are also stand alone comps run for various reasons such as the Hawkesbury Classic (run by Pittown Anglers Club to raise money for the Childrens hospital at Westmead)- never heard of a free comp though.

iamthecowgodmoo Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Google "Warringah Anglers". Worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrybeynon Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Cheers Paddy T, Hawkesbury Classic looks alright was never expecting that the comps would be free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Why not join a club, they normally have monthly comps as well as interclub comps against other clubs. Not sure if we are able to post links to clubs but I used to be a member of this one http://www.afa-nsw.com.au please remove if attaching such links isn't permitted.

campr Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi. Thought I would explain the difference between club comps. There are a lot of little independant fishing clubs based at pubs, RSL clums etc, but two groups of clubs banded together as fishing organisations. Amature Fishermans Association (AFA) comps are based on total bags of fish, usually so many points per fish and points per KG. Australian National Sportfishing Association (ANSA) which I belong to was formed by a group of fishos 49 years ago that broke away from AFA due to the way comps were run back then that resulted in a lot of fish wastage. (AFA comps now have limits per species that solves this issue). ANSA comps are not based on bags of fish, but trying to catch the highest scoring single fish in each of 5 divisions. Each species of fish has a fighting factor based on their difficulty to catch. This is multiplied by the weight of the fish and then divided by the breaking strength of the (pre-tested) line. Sounds complicated but it isn't realy. This formula means you need to fish the lightest possible lines for the available fish to have a chance of winning and I use 1KG prtest lines when fish in the estuary division.

AMBERJACK Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 http://getfishing.com.au/resources/events/ Check this website out and see if you can find any comps for Sydney! Be careful because you do have to pay some money for the tournament. Cheers, amberjack Fish On! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
