Curious about the Ausfish History , how it started, when it started & who started it & why. Not that I'm complaining either, the experience & advice here is priceless.

"The site started in 1994. There have been 3 forums, the original could not be merged into the next forum. I still have a copy of it though and there are some screen shots on this forum or the old one somewhere. The forum before this one is located at http://www.ausfish.com.au/forum/YaBB.pl
Yes, I started it myself. Originally developed and coded it in notepad. A lot easier these days with Dreamweaver, etc, etc.
I started it as a resource for visiting anglers so they could get info on rules, charters, locations, etc. Up until recently I still had a listing of charter operators in each state listed for free. In 14 years of giving them free listings about the only time I would hear from one was if there phone number was wrong. Hence why the free listings no longer exist.
I had difficulty in getting this info off the net in 1994 when I went overseas and thought other people would have the same problem coming to Australia. It then evolved from there."
