Right my views on this.

Having a points system run over a year is not a good option as some of the clubs in NZ have a fantastic fishery on there door step and wouldn't put us all on a level playing field regardless if its species based or not.
Put the kayak section under the boat section as they carry almost as much gear and fish pretty much the same locations.
Fishing on one beach - personally I think you would see a lot of people pull out of the Nats as that is more related to coarse fishing style not salt water. Why can't we just reduce boundaries and restrict private access instead.
The person that wins the top angler should have the option of going to Aussie to represent NZ as should the top caster and either be payed for or subsidised by the NZACA.
At the moment all the NZACA does is keep records and those are not up to date- they need to be more proactive in supporting amateur fisherman in NZ e.g- opening up areas for clubs,talking to the commercial industry regarding inshore fishing, starting dialog with local Iwi regarding access for clubs in closed areas etc, perhaps we'll see club membership grow then.
Sponsorship - why would a company want to support something that does nothing, the general public and a lot fisherman dont even know who they are.This needs to change - again write up in the mags ,fishing papers telling people the benefit of belonging to a club and the NZACA.
If you open the Nats to the public why join a club???
The Nats should be for anglers that fish and contribute to the club they belong to not some one coming on holiday to NZ and decides they want to fish - thats not right. Why is there no South Island clubs involved- some of them are very big in the south.
We want to get Distance Casing off the ground- get the young guys into it- problem been no info out there regarding it unless on a forum- put it in a local paper radio what ever- NZACA CASTING DAY bring your gear learn to cast and get distance- surf -popper- spin what ever just to get people there.
Any way thats enough of that -
