About the Association

The Australian Anglers Association, (Western Australian Division) Inc., is the State Branch affiliated to the Australian Anglers Association, an organisation that promotes club angling as a sport and recreation for all.

Club angling has something for everyone, no matter their age. Activities can include beach fishing, boat fishing, fishing from jetties and platforms in the river and along the coastline, local groynes, rock platforms and reef systems. It can also include estuary and river fishing in both salt and fresh water.

Some fishing clubs also cater for the sport of dry casting as well as a wide variety of other activities such as 4WD, camping, and other associated skills, all done with like-minded people who also enjoy recreational fishing.

The Australian Anglers Association (WA Division) Inc., is an association of Western Australian angling clubs. The Association is managed by a Delegates Council, which is made up of Delegates from clubs affiliated with the Association.

The Association coordinates and organises State and National competitions for Estuary fishing, Rock and Beach fishing, Offshore fishing and Drycasting which decide the Champion Angler of the Year and Champion Club of the Year.

The Association maintains lists of all record fish captures made in Western Australia and Nationally. Anyone, resident or visitor, who has caught a fish in WA waters is entitled to claim the capture as a record by completing a record claim form.
