The clubs have done a lot - RISAA is very much involved in challenges to public access, charity work, fisheries management and fostering interest in the sport.
From a political perspective, individual clubs are weak when compared to unified groups such as Surfrider, the commercial fishing industry, the Audubon Society or even the National Park Service.
It would be nice to say, "oh we all want the same thing, so let's try to work together." The only problem is, it's an adversarial relationship and we've brought a knife to a gunfight. When local clubs find themselves at odds with nationally organized groups, they are at an extreme disadvantage.

What magazine do you expect to read about these groups in? OTW has stuff about both organizations every month. I'm a member of RISAA and proud to be, they do alot . If you really want to know go to there website or pick up one of the monthly newsletters. They do everything from scholarships for young members, to take a kid fishing day coming up in June.
