I think a couple of things that work against sportfishers organizing are,1 The group is made up of people ranging from Earth First types to CEO's of extraction industries,too many opposing views, too much to disagree on. For some reason, it seems sportfishers are prone to petty bickering and narrow mindedness when put together in groups, just my observation. 2 For many,it seems, the rewards of putting time and/or money into a political cause that is basiclly to promote a hobby are not worth the price.
