Australian Anglers Association SA

The Australian Anglers Association SA (SA DIV) inc is a sports club based in Adelaide, South Australia. The club's primary objective is to encourage the formation of Amateur Angling Clubs throughout South Australia. They are dedicated to the protection of fish and the prevention of water pollution. Additionally, the club aims to promote the sporting welfare of its members through organised competitions and to foster good fellowship through social functions.

The club has a rich history, with the first State Championships taking place in 1957. At that time, there were only eight clubs participating, but now only four remain: South Australian Fish Protection (SAFP), Western District AC (WDAC), Super Elliotts AC (SEAC), and Gawler AC. Since then, many more clubs have joined the association. The inaugural season featured two championships: saltwater and freshwater.

The saltwater championship was held in Pt Hughes, with SAFP emerging as the winner, while the freshwater championship took place in Swan Reach, with SAFP once again achieving victory.

The club also hosts various events and championships, with the upcoming 2025 National Convention and Championships set to be held in the Barrington Coast, New South Wales. Forster will serve as the headquarters for the event. More details about this championship can be found on the club's website.

For those interested in participating, the club's next event is the Freshwater Championships in Cobdogla on November 19th, 2022. The event will be held from 7:00 am to 3:45 pm at the Cobdogla Football and Tennis Club. The nominated species for this championship are Callop, Bony Bream, Redfin, and the heaviest other fish.
