    Interesting, very interesting. The reading on this thread is very revealing. Shame is, it appears that there is a lot of old hat going on. As the Club captain of the Pania SCC I can say that there is no elitist BS and we are all for the family. There is no requirement to be fishing for whole weekends. Of course if you wish to be Club Champion then of course you need to be competitive and give it everything. However we have instigated several competitions that cater for those that want to be lesser active.
    Now with my NZACA hat on. I was the most critical of how the Association was being run and how the National Competition was being organized and managed. To this end I was instrumental in the running of a Forum in Rotorua that pulled the whole body apart. From this there has been a huge move forward starting with this years extremely well run Nationals. I have put my hand up as an Exec member and can say with hand on heart that there is huge progress happening. It will not happen overnight but it is happening. As for those that have alternative ways of catching fish from shore. I have no issues ( except for the wankers who let loose a seahorse parallel to the beach). We have three kontiki users in our club so what.

    Now as a board user. Mud slinging and criticising the reasonable opinions of others is childish and doesn't warrant the time and effort in replying. Each and every person on this board has an opinion and is entitled to express it. I do take exception though when criticism is aimed at something that the issuer knows nothing about and is not living in the now.
