Kingfisher Sport Fishing Association MALTA

ABOUT KSFA

Fishing is a growing sport amongst all age groups in Malta and the KSFA committee strives hard to promote angling as a sport, keeping fish conservation in mind at all times. We are also members in the Kunsill Malti Ghall-Isports.

During the late 1980's a group of keen anglers started meeting up to fish together and from there the idea of organising fishing competitions between themselves started. In 1990 Steve Johnston Established Officialy Kingfisher Sport Fishing Association thus becoming the first Sports Fishing Club in Malta. Till this day although Steve is now living in Canada he still involves himself and keeps contact with the Club's members.

Our motto is in fact Catch and Release.

Apart from numerous local events and bi monthly angling competitions we also paticipated for the very first international experience as 11 top Maltese anglers who have placed in top positions in the National Federation League and competed against other countries in the 3rd edition of the Sport World Fishing Championships held in Tuscany in August 2011.

Who can become a member?
Everyone can join our club. Competitions and leagues are held around Malta in various location so practically one must have his own transport to attend in every venue.

Joining KSFA will not guarantee you become a top fisherman. We just focus on shore fishing and basically one will only be learning and improving on the sports aspect of fishing. One must keep in mind that fishing is very complex and by joining KSFA you are not learning the natural fishing art.

It will only cost around 15 euros to pay your yearly membership fee, around 20 euros to compete in the singles, doubles league and mullet league.
But as all other sports you need to have good tackle, good bait on the day which will end up as a good expense to compete in all matches.

Kingfisher Sport Fishing Association has been been there since the early 90's. Founded by Steve Johnston the club has grown and matured and today we can say we are the leaders in Sport Fishing organisation when we come to sport fishing on the island. Our anglers have always placed in top positions and also participated in various international tournaments abroad with successive results.
 
What is the club's main aim?
Our aim is to use our sports as a conservation to our future. In all matches the rule of Catch and Release is always practiced and our members are always taught how to care for the future of fish and marine conservation. Lately we also partnered with the University of Malta and in most matches our catches are being monitored and studied by students who attend the fishing leagues and gauge our catch.
