SOUTH AFRICAN LIGHT TACKLE BOAT ANGLING ASSOCIATION
INTRODUCTION
The South
African Light Tackle Boat Angling Association as we know it today started in the
early 1960’s with the joining together of two separate bodies the then, All
Transvaal Light Tackle boat Anglers Unions and the All Coastal Unions.
SALTBAA is a unique form of sport angling, in that it limits its I.G.F.A. rated
class line to maximum 4 kgs.
Our teams consists of four anglers whom constantly fishes in dams, rivers,
estuaries and off shore. Our sport is family orientated and is there to be
enjoyed by everyone.
S.A.L.T.B.A.A. is now affiliated and member body to various International and
National Federations.
S.A.L.T.B.A.A. during the 1960’s and 1970’s achieved moderate success at
International levels, but since the introduction of the Zone
VI leagues at the
start of the 1990’s now competes at a highly successful International level.
The early 1990’s saw S.A.L.T.B.A.A. going through major changes by the
introduction of the Ladies and juniors fishing with skipper/coaches to handle
the boats and in the past ten years have achieve International success. The
early 1990’s saw the formation of the Zone 6 Tournaments, the hosting country
rotating each year.
The year 2000 saw S.A.L.T.B.A.A. developing its own image, identity and branding
this was achieved through the holding of Bosberaad, having put together a plan
for the future of the amateur sports angler, and incorporating a future within
our sport for the PDI’s.
The year 2001 saw the first S.A.L.T.B.A.A. PDI’s at the Cahorra Bassa Tiger
International, Mocambique, and fishing from small boat with limited line.
