NATIONAL FEDERATION OF
SEA ANGLERS
This site has been recently updated and is now pretty
generic. All angling Webrings and Banner rings have been discontinued without
informing anyone.........even the BCC. Do these people really care?
The organisation working for the sport of sea angling in
England and recognised by the H. M. Government and Sport England. The N.F.S.A is
prominent in Conservation, Youth & Development, it's Members Services and the
promotion of the English Sea Angling Team for competitions globally. The website
also contains a list of all the U K Sea Angling records together with some
pictures. A list of specimen sizes is also listed on the website for those
interested in obtaining N.F.S.A medals etc. European Federation of Sea

from the Port of Plymouth, now operates from Jupiter Inlet, Atlantic Coast of Florida, USA.
In the year of AUGUST 2017 will see the operation of a new vessel, which is a 35' AMERACAT. Everything you need to know about fishing
here in Florida and the part Electric Blue played in the history of British conger
fishing is featured on our website. Want to fish in the sun....its usually in the 90's.

I.G.F.A - International Game
Fishing Association
The BCC recently sent
I.G.F.A a
life-size model of the record eel for their soon to be opened World Fishing
Centre in Florida - this link is to a mention of them on the World of Fishing
web-site - some other interesting stuff there too.
The webmaster recently visited the I.G.F.A
in Florida in 2006 at Dana Beach and I have to say I was disappointed at the state
of the place. The I.G.F.A certainly needs an injection of money as a global organisation.
Many of the exhibits need important maintenance as they are showing signs of
neglect.
Deepsea.co.uk Chris
CAINES,
Skipper of Tiger Lily out of Weymouth and some more skippers have put together a
nice site with loads of info - check it out. Probably the top site for gaining

This site needs updating. It now contains
some history of the S.A.C.G.B. but is not really a S.A.C.G.B website. Its all about sea angling from LOOE in Cornwall rather than

WRECKED S.A.C
In their own words...this site is packed with more crap than a Shakespeare

They all have a good sense of humour......the only requirement for joining the
club. Nicely designed site, however I think it may dead as its not been updated
in the last few years.

I have viewed many aquariums around the world and this one for a National

VISIT!!

standards. However, theyare particularly good when
converted to sterling.

ASSOCIATION The
British Disabled Angling Association is a registered charity set up
in 1996 to develop fishing opportunities for disabled people. We were created
following increased calls for the formation of a group to develop coarse, sea
and game fishing opportunities for people with disabilities.
NORTH SOUTH & CENTRAL SAC The founder members were all fed up with the
politics of clubs they were in. The various clubs around seemed to be run by
rules regulations and dictatorial committees. We decided to form a club with as
few rules as possible and no committee. Although we have a president, chairman,
secretary and a treasurer. All members are equal every member including juniors
have a vote. We came up with the idea that as our members would hopefully come
from all over Bristol and beyond we could call ourselves North and South.
