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
Anglers
The web site of the E.F.S.A, with all the information about events,
championships, records and rules you could need.
Tony Allen (webmaster of the BCC), of Electric Blue fame
from the Port of Plymouth, now operates from Johns Pass, Madeira Beach, Florida, USA.
In the year of 2008 will see the operation of a new vessel, which is a 42' Powerglide Port
Isaac Power Catamaran- we hope!. 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

professional organisation operated for its Charter skippers members. This
website grows monthly and is professionally maintained.
EDDYSTONE EEL LURES
Eddystone Eel

2001 for the most innovative fishing tackle lure in the world......the PLUG EEL.

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

marking - see if you can help!! Slowly getting there but has lost some of
its original impetuous.

Courtney (TV Show)
The people who gave us that very nice award

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.
