ANNUAL PRESIDENTS REPORT 2004 – 2009

PRÉCIS OF MAJOR TASKS PERFORMED DURING 2003The SADSAA EXCO has been extremely busy this year with problems that have emanated from Governmental Sources. These entailclosures of launch sites – new bag limits etc. We have been unsuccessful in arranging an interview with the Department ofEnvironmental Affairs and Tourism-and the Minister of Sport on the various projects that we are planning between 2004 and 2010.

The highlights of our activities have been broken down into several headings, namely:

1. Development – we now have development programmes up and running as per the request of the National SportsCommission. This will be to the advantage of the sport as we are on a massive drive in the following three directions:a. Recruiting members that have left the sport, plus the potential deep sea anglers who are now looking for a sport to get

involved in and who have the financial means to do so. The drive is to get them into the sport.b. Juniors, most of the Provinces are concentrating intensively on their Junior angling, and this has been particularly

successful in a few of the Provinces, and is continuing to carry momentum.c. Previous Disadvantaged, Our current skippers - and tackle box courses that we are running include all races and gender,

and we are happy to say that quite a few new members particularly in the PDI area are starting to come through ourprograms.

d. Women anglers: Because of the nature of this sport, SADSAA does not differentiate between women and men when itcomes to angling. Our sport allows the boat to transport the angler to the area where the fishing takes place, so womenare not at any disadvantage as they are in some of the other fishing disciplines Once the vessel arrives at the fishing area,their skills are equal to that of the men, and for this reason women and men fish at an even level of competition. This is aninternationally accepted norm.

e. We believe that we have been able to reverse the trend of reducing membership and with the new proposed Bols Brandysponsored membership card, we will be able to increase membership by arranging reciprocity at all clubs for SADSAAmembers .Our code of conduct will ensure that our Rules and Regulations are obeyed by all our paid up members whoenjoy the association with SADSAA.

e. Launch sites – We have had an ongoing battle with the Government on launch sites, but have secured almost all thelaunch sites for which we made application. We are still experiencing trouble in the Eastern Cape and Border area andthat would appear to be an administrative problem by Environmental Department. But we are working on this continually.

f. Bag Limits – We agreed at previous SAMLMA meetings that our recreational anglers would maintain the new proposedBag Limits i.e. we will be able to catch what is suggested in the new bag limit schedule. This is being attacked at presentby the SAMLMA Exco but will again be defended by our association at the next SAMLMA AGM in August 2004.

5

g. TournamentsWorld Trolling Championships – Sodwana Bay – We held a very successful tournament in May 2004 at Sodwana Bay.We hosted the biggest FIPS-M 2004 World Trolling Championships in the Tournament’s 13-year history. 32 Teams from18 different countries participated.

Although we discussed this with the various governmental departments we had no financial assistance from them at all,but were able to hold a very successful tournament nevertheless and all the participants enjoyed the Country and ourhospitality. We must say great big thanks to TOURISM SOUTH AFRICA who were really helpful in assisting us with thistournament. The EFSA tournament, which was held in Cape Town in November 2003, was also extremely successful.We had 18 teams from various European countries and the results were excellent in as much as the SADSAA team camefirst, the SADSAA development team 2nd and the Protea team 3rd.

SADSAA will again this year be nominating anglers to represent them at International tournaments overseas of which thereare 7 scheduled. The cost of each one of these tournaments per angler is in the area of R60 000. There has been noGovernment grant to assist the anglers, and they have all had to fund themselves with a little assistance from our S.A.DeepSea Angling AssociationTournament Fund, which helps them in buying the necessary Protea clothing for the tour.

h. SAFETY – This year our National Safety Officer has produced our own safety manuals for instruction. This is atremendous achievement and the manuals are now available in an Inland Waters-Estuaries and up to 1 nautical mile, aLocal Water manual (15 nautical miles) and a Coastal Water (40 nautical miles). To ensure that our examination method isfair to all, we have now established a system whereby lecturers no longer mark the exam paper. A selected group ofexaminers have been appointed to each province to handle the skipper’s course examinations and there are lecturers alsoin each province conducting the courses. The lecturer never gets to see the exam paper at all, as the examiner is theexam adjudicator and marks the papers and advises the examiner of the results.This process is not followed in any of the other facets as far as we are aware and SAMSA is very pleased with the system.

In closing it would appear that our sport is on an upward trend although the numbers have declined and we hope that thenew Ministerial authorities who govern our sport, namely MCM. and DEAT will grant us an interview to discuss the problemthat we have with their departments and subsidiaries.

STRATEGIC PLANS

To be internationally recognised as one of the strongest competing Nations in world angling through development structures inaccordance with National Sports Commissions guidelines, technical courses, domestic competitions, and Environmental awarenessprograms.

DEVELOPMENT

- Development amongst new anglers has been thorough and has taken place in all Provinces with a development office in eachof the 13 Provinces.

- Development amongst our P.D.I’s has been moderately successful this year, with them attending our various courses.- Concentration on school children is at quite a high level, especially in the Western Cape.- Griqualand West organised an extremely successful tournament for paraplegics at Sodwana Bay in the past and plans to

continue with this program.- Whilst we are not successful in retaining the PDI’s, mainly due to the cost of the sport, we are confident that at least these

PDI’s are able to catch fish and should they not succeed in becoming employed, at least they have been given skills that willassist them in becoming subsistence fisherman. In fact we are aware of many PDI’s who have been trained by SADSAA andhave obtained their skippers licenses and are now active in small commercial fishing operations.

SADSAA DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2004

SCOPE:The scope of this Development Plan is to supply an overview of the Sport’s Development aims and Transformation objectives, as well as its related mechanisms andprocedures.

TARGET GROUPS FOR DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES:Traditionally the membership of Deep Sea Angling has been compromised of mainly senior male members of the white population.According to the S.A. Sports Commission requirements, any transformation and development model shall focus on the inclusion of “previously disadvantaged individuals”and to be more exact, members of the black population.Another area in which we seriously need more participation is with females, juniors and handicapped people.All 13 provinces which are made up of 101 clubs have been requested to adhere to these guidelines in their future Development programs in order for SADSAA to meetthe S.A. Sports Commission’s aims and objectives BELOW ARE LISTED A NUMBER OF PROJECTS WHICH QUALIFY AS DEVELOPMENT IN OUR SPORT

BEACH & RADIO CONTROL COURSES19. FIRST AID COURSES20. BOAT MAINTENANCE COURSES21. PLUS ALL OTHER SKILLS TRAINING COURSES

The aims and objectives of development in SADSAA are to attract more people into the sport of angling and improve the skills of existing anglers.In order to achieve this we need to encourage everyone regardless of race creed or colour, including handicapped people, females, juniors and previouslydisadvantaged to participate in the various development courses run by our affiliated angling clubs throughout South Africa.In so doing we expect to gain more recognition for our sport by enhancing these anglers fishing skills, thereby obtaining more medals in local and internationalcompetitions.

NB: Wherever PDI”S are mentioned it stands for previously disadvantaged.

SADSAA HISTORY

In 1957 an organization called SAGFA (South African Gamefish Association) was formed and this organization catered mainly for theanglers who fished from larger boats. In 1958 the SASBAA (South African Ski-Boat Association) was formed which catered for theanglers using smaller boats to catch the same species. At that time the Ski-Boat Association had 6 Provincial Bodies and in SAGFAthere were at least 2 clubs (South African Marlin & Tuna and Natal Rod and Reel) who enjoyed Provincial status because they wererecognized as founder members.After a period of heavy negotiation there was a name change from SASBAA to South African Ski Boat Light Tackle Game fishAssociation, also at this stage there was an association called SAAU (South African Anglers Union) who co-ordinated all facets of fishingbut was frowned upon by Mr Muleki George and ultimately in the early 1990’s was disbanded. In the meantime SAGFA and SASBAAamalgamated in 1988 and in terms of the agreement neither of the presidents were able to take up office in the new SADSAA (SouthAfrican Deep Sea Angling Association) and this responsibility fell on the shoulders of Mr Mike Schultz who held office for 9 years, MrDick Pratt for 3 years and John Pledger, for 4 years and Marius Vermaak only recently elected.

Mr Hymie Steyn who now holds the portfolio of PRO for SADSAA was the chairman for SASBAA for 15 years.

SWOT

16

STRENGTHS

1. One of the best organized angling bodies in the world that has good angler support to officiate over the unique sport of deepsea angling and the infrastructure to control the sport and represent the anglers at Governmental level, in all forms, be it sport,conservation, beach driving and launch sites. The strength of the organization has been rewarded by the FIPS –M worldTrolling Championships being awarded to us in Sodwana Bay in May 2004, and the possibility of the CIPS World Gamescoming to this country in 2010.Junior Development Programme officially recognised and highly acclaimed by InternationalControlling Body of Sea Angling. (FIPS-M)

2. Enjoyed sponsorship support from our various sponsors, and our main sponsor Bols Brandy.

3. Run proven competitions – regional, national and international, and by so doing make it possible for anglers to get associationcolours, provincial colours, SADSAA colours, and eventually Protea Colours.

4. Strong liaison delegates to meet with M&CM, SAMLMA, DEAT, SASC, KZN Nature Conservation, SASACC and theDepartment of Sport and Recreation, on matters of the sport, conservation, beach driving and launch sites.

5. Strong and secure overseas connections, resulting in our being awarded to assist in the bid for the World Fishing Games aswell as awarded the EFSA International 2002 and the FIPS World Championships in 2004 and being invited to tender for the2010 World Angling Games. The strength of our organizing ability has ensured that we have hosted the FIPS Tournaments in1994, 1999, and 2004 and the EFSA tournaments in 1970 - Durban, 1972 – Cape Town, 1978 – Durban; P.E.; Cape Town,1986 – Cape Town, 1990 -, 1998 – Cape Town, 2002 – Simons Town. The Association is a Promoting Member of theFederation (appointed to promote the sport of deep sea angling in African countries.)

6. An authorized agent for the Government authority SAMSA covering our safety, and ensuring our safety and skipperscompetency is kept at a very high standard in accordance with the SAMSA request for the betterment of all concerned. Thekeeping of updated records of vessel, Seaworthy certificate numbers and skippers tickets.

7. Financially stable, and able to operate good fundraising programs.

8. A well constructed and administered records register.

9. The Association encourages International participation and its anglers are well received overseas as outstanding competitorsand good ambassadors.

10. Attracting fishing tourism to South Africa via International Representation and International Initiatives and support fromTourism South Africa.

11. No age, colour and gender discrimination in the sport.

17

12. Audited financial statements

13. A new Constitution, which has already been submitted to the administration.

14. A development program that is becoming accepted by the authorities and internationally recognised by FIPS-M

15. Environmental officers structured in each province, working towards better understanding of all fishermen of our environmentalproblems, and supporting good environmental husbandry.

18

WEAKNESSES

1. Communication breakdown from Member-Body Chairman, to Club Chairman, to grass-root anglers.

2. Severe economic situation in the country makes it increasingly difficult for our members to afford the sport of recreational andcompetitive angling. The weakness of the rand has resulted in the lessening of disposable income, which has affected oursport. This trend is still there even though the value of the rand has improved.

3. Lack of input and performance of some Provincial Member Bodies.

4. Repeatedly attacked by commercial and some Governmental bodies, as the cause of the resources decline, as they see us asa soft target.

5. The inability of PDI’s to participate in the sport basically due to the cost of the sport.

6. Distance from the coast for our inland anglers places a heavy financial burden on them, prior to participating in the organizedangling tournaments.

19

OPPORTUNITIES

1. Communication problems can be overcome with a multimedia communication system, which is now being implemented.

2. Tendering for hosting of the World Games in 2010.

3. Promoting and hosting International Tournaments and National Tournaments in South Africa. Hosting well-organizedInternational Tournaments.

4. Interacting with Tourism South Africa to increase tourism within our borders.

5. Increase and further our overseas connections particularly in the area of good environmental principles.

6. To increase the numbers of PDI’s and Juniors in our Development Programmes via aggressive promotions.

7. To build up a better and healthier working relationship with all the role players who control our destiny i.e. ORI, SAMLMA, T-MAGS, L-MAGS (when formed) M&CM, DEAT, GSLWP and KZN Nature Conservation plus many others.

8. Promotion of the sport via shows, exhibitions and aggressive development programs.

9. Promoting the sport to the Juniors via schools, boy scouts and girl guides, where the initiative has already been made to makecontact with the Governmental Schools Sports, Scouting and Guide Authorities.

10. By regulating the tournament rules, to make sure that they become more ecologically friendly.

11. The stigma that will be attributed to us by the continued commercial fishing by the ex-commercial fisherman who have losttheir licences and now still fish commercially but under the recreational banner.

20

THREATS

1. Competition from other sports for the same potential participants.

2. Competition from other sports for sponsors.

3. The banning of 4x4 beach driving by DEAT and M&CM.

4. The lack of understanding of local Government authorities of the launch site regulations in particular, the quest for EIA’s andinequitable launch site fee structures.

5. Long-line fishing off our Coast by South African and foreign fleets.

6. Scarcity of 19 – 30 year old age group and PDI’s.

7. Spiralling costs of the sport.

8. The cost of overseas participation is prohibitive.

9. Lack of Government funding.

10. Resource depletion through over exploitation by the commercial sectors & lack of law enforcement of existing laws, allowingpoachers to exist and when caught, failure to prosecute.

11. Increased pollution of our rivers and oceans.

12. Total lack of Government response to our repeated requests for an audience to discuss our problems. TheAssociation requires formal recognition by Marine & Coastal Management as “An Organization to talk to”.

21

SADSAA VISION

A DEMOCRATICALLY PROMOTED, DEEP SEA SPORT ANGLING FRATERNITY THROUGH EDUCATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENTPROGRAMMES, THUS ENABLING ALL SOUTH AFRICANS AND TOURISTS SUSTAINABLE ACCESS TO OUR MARINE FISHINGWATERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ECOLOGICAL AND STATUTE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY.

22

SADSAA’S MISSION

TO PROMOTE AND EDUCATE ALL SECTORS OF THE POPULATION ABOUT THE SPORT OF FISHING THEREBY INCREASINGPARTICIPATION AND STEWARDSHIP OF OUR MARINE RESOURCES.

23

FINANCIAL

Once again financially we experienced a tough year as the interest rates that normally helped us balance our finances was at a ratherdepressed level resulting in reduced income.

We also experienced difficulty in our fundraising, which only accounted for 0.65% of our income.

The actual accounts reflect a net surplus for the year of R8-00. For this reason it was decided, by council to increase our capitation feefor the 2005 year from R40-00 to R50-00 per member. We don’t like doing this, but it is the Council’s opinion that we should run theaffairs of South African Deep Sea Angling Association on our normal income, without relying on reserves. Because of the reduced rateof interest it has now been necessary to increase capitation fees, which have remained the same over the last 3 years. This mightcause some consternation and loss of membership, but it will not be detrimental to the organisation.

Once again our auditor Michael Burton chartered accounts (SA) produced our balance sheets and ratified that we had conducted theaffaires of the organization correctly.

ADMINISTRATION

• The administration of the organization has not changed since 2002/2003.• In order to keep our members up to date with our affairs we use the facility of Ski Boat Magazine, where there is a bi-monthly

article by the President/CEO, on the affairs of SADSAA. Over and above this we distribute a newsletter, which is posted, afterevery meeting, to all our 116 clubs, to enable the secretaries of these clubs, to post the newsletter on the notice boards, to keepthese grass root anglers updated. We have initiated recently the electronics media via our website, (www.fishingowl.co.za) wherea summary of the latest council meeting is posted on the web, so that all the anglers have access to immediate information.

ANGLING

We have continued, over the last year, to promote angling at all levels. i.e. Club, Interzonal, Provincial, National andInternational.

We held late in 2002 the EFSA (European Federation of Saltwater Anglers) Tournament in Cape Town. This Tournament wasextremely successful, and resulted in the three SADSAA teams namely our Protea Team, The SADSAA Team, and theSADSAA Development Team, coming first, second and third in that tournament. This speaks highly of our competitiveness ofour anglers, and also that our development programme is starting to work.

After entertaining two guests from CIPS and FIPS-M in South Africa earlier this year, our planned tournament of the FIPS-M2004 trolling championships have been awarded to South Africa, and will be taking place in Sodwana Bay from the 1st May2004 to 8th May 2004. We are expecting 29International teams plus 3 domestic South African teams, (one of which will be adevelopment team) to participate in this tournament. The rules pertaining to the tournament have been established, and thecommittee to run this tournament has already been formulated, and is working in that direction.

We have tendered on behalf of SASACC for the World Fishing Games in 2006. The countries that are still in the running tohost that tournament are South Africa and Portugal. Whilst our two guest from CIPS and FIPS-M were in South Africa, weentertained them at the various potential venues to host all 19 fishing facets and the decision was taken to host the fly fishingin the Belfast area, the course fishing in the Gauteng area, the salt water facets in Durban/Umhlanga Rocks area, the casting(weight throwing) in the Zwartkops Pretoria area, the Pole fishing in the Florida Lake/ East Rand and Vaal area, and thecarnivorous fish both from the boat and bank in the Vaal River area above the barrage.

The results of our tender should be available by mid August 2004, and if successful we will immediately vote in a TournamentDirector, whose responsibility will be to negotiate with the Government and all authorities relating to this tournament. Havingspent time with our overseas guests, I am fairly confident that we have a very good chance, and if not on this occasion we willdefinitely receive a World Championship in South Africa in 2010. A major point in our favour is that CIPS with over 60 millionregistered anglers, is very keen to start a membership drive in the African countries, and they see South Africa as the key tothis goal. A big thanks at this stage to SA TOURISM (Henriette Greeff) for the help and assistance that she has given us tosecure the FIPS-M World Championships for Sodwana Bay, and the potential of securing the World Fishing Games for SouthAfrica. Without their assistance, the whole exercise would have been one of futility.

Our anglers have represented South Africa at the following International Tournaments during 2003. We fished the PuertoRico Blue Marlin Championships, FIPS – M Big Game Fish Championships in Senegal, International Sailfish Championships –Costa Rico. The results have been excellent in the EFSA tournament and not as exciting as we would like in the othertournaments. We have however continued to receive prizes for the best presented and the most liked teams at these varioustournaments.

46

The domestic season has been extremely busy this year, and all our 5 National Championships plus 86 inter-provincials andleague competitions have taken place. At the recent meeting we have planned all the Bols National Tournaments for 2004,and a very great thank you to our sponsor Bols Brandy for their continued sponsorship and participation in our fishing sport.

YEARBOOK The 2004 Yearbook is now available and the biggest development is that all the Bols National Tournaments plus all theProvincial - and Club Tournaments are published in the yearbook, with the names and contact numbers of all Provincial Chairman, andnames and contact numbers of all their clubs in their Province.The Yearbook also contains the records, rules, safety regulations, making it a wonderful reference book for all competitive anglers.

47

WHERE TO FOR 2004 TO 2009

To continue with promoting our sport to the rest of the world and to our South African Citizens. To negotiate with DEAT/ORI/M&CM on the sensitive issue relating to our sport with regard to small Launch sites, beach driving

and bag limits. To encourage more PDI’s to join our Development Programme and become good recreational and competitive anglers of

International standard. To ensure that all our anglers abide by our Maritime Laws and fish husbandry in accordance with the laws of the country and the

Internationally accepted norms. In order to get rid of the stigma, where we are repeatedly falsely accused of being theperpetrators of excessive fish kill tournaments, we have now formulated a new tournament rules, pertaining to all our tournamentsto ensure that we are no longer killing fish in this community. We are going to continue to apply for dispensation, but the reasonsfor the dispensation have been changed and any cash that is raised from the sale of fish is going to be donated through thecorrect channels, for the disadvantaged communities in that particular area. This is a major swing from traditional methods ofdistribution of funds raised from the dispensation received from the Government.

To foster good relationships with other angling associations and get to know one another’s sport. To host international competitions in South Africa. To improve the calibre of our anglers irrespective of race, creed or colour and ensure that through sport we have better future

together. To further the advantage of Eco-tourism to increase tourism to South Africa. To affiliate to management groups covering the environmental issues of our sport. To encourage closer working relationship and understanding with National and Regional Departments of Sport and Recreation at

all levels. To work more closely with Marine and Coastal Management on the critical exploitable and recreational lists and obtain full

understanding that the dispensations for which we apply do not exceed overall bag limits. This we do via Andrew Penney andenclose his CV.

Promote Zone 6 Tournaments both in this country, at different venues, and other countries, for our anglers to fish regionally. Compile an annual Tournament Calendars consisting of: - Marlin Nationals, Sailfish Nationals, Billfish Nationals, Bottom fish

Nationals, Tuna Nationals and Junior Nationals (which can either be Game fish, Sailfish or Tuna). To promote regional tournaments such as Provincial Tournaments, Inter-Provincial Tournaments, Mini Inter-Provincial

Tournaments, Inland Tournaments and Inter-Club Tournaments. To ensure that all our Tournaments are fished within the rules of the Country as required by the various authorities that control

our resources. Production of a quality magazine/yearbook for circulation to all our members and interested parties including our overseas friends

and affiliates.

48

To raise funds for tournaments/development/environmental management, as well as the protection of our access to launch sites,stock resources and beach driving.

To select team to represent the association as well as Protea Anglers in an International event. To promote development at all levels amongst all our race groups with the view that these anglers become SADSAA and Protea

anglers, to compete at International levels. To promote angling tourism locally and overseas. To control and administer the safety factor awarded us by SAMSA to ensure the control of boat surveys – skipper’s tickets,

examiners courses and general safety at sea according to the rules laid down by SAMSA. A very close working relationship hasbeen established with SAMSA, where we have taken into account their fears regarding buoyancy and safety of buoyancy plushaving the SR (Sports and Recreation) numbering system acknowledged and accepted by SAMSA to cater for all those that donot wish to become part of organized angling and just wish to fish recreationally and boat recreationally have been developed.Over and above this our safety officers are being trained to lecture and to survey boats on freshwater facilities.

To assist our neighbours, Zimbabwe, Swaziland and other area to control their safety regulations in accordance with SAMSA.

To assist various facets that do not have the ability to promote their safety at sea, at assist to organize and teach their safetyofficer how to administer this particular facet of the sport.

To become involved in administering the new regulations that will govern all boating under power, on rivers and dams, inaccordance with SAMSA’s safety regulations.

BASIC PHILOSOPHY OF THE SPORT OF DEEP SEA ANGLING

Game fish species which is (any fish identified and accepted because of it’s fighting characteristics, their related food and theirhabitat) are Economic-, Social-, Recreational and Aesthetic Assets, which must be maintained, wisely used and perpetuated.

The Sport of Deep Sea Angling is an important Recreational-Competitive- and Social Activity, which the public must be educatedto pursue in a manner CONSISTENT WITH SOUND SPORTING AND CONSERVATION PRACTICES.Sport fishing transcends all political, social and ideological boundaries.An Amateur Sport Angler is ever respectful of the fishery. (i.e. the fish, it’s habitat and it’s environment, the management regimesand the sound practice of sport fishing)

It is without a doubt that Eco-tourism can benefit by organized angling events. If the American market is anything to go by, theretail fishing tackle sales of recreational angling in the United States of America is in the area of 44 Billion Rand. This accountedfor more than 1 million jobs, 30 billion spent on wages, 28 billion spent on travel. The total impact of the recreational fishingindustry over 1 million licensed anglers in the United States is $116 Billion. Organised angling in South Africa works within theparameters set by our Environmental Authorities, and if managed correctly, can become a major tourist attraction to the country.This will be a good source of income to some of the rural areas that are undeveloped, but have good fishing potential. We arehappy to say that Tourism South Africa has recognized this fact, and has been involved with our various projects.

Due to the relative isolation of most of the countries in the region, the urgent need was recently identified to form a South AfricanSport and Sea Angling Federation of which South African Deep Sea Association is a full member. We are actively working withour neighbouring countries to promote the Zone 6 area, into a better organized angling fraternity and have already held the firstZone 6 tournament ever held in the Deep Sea Fraternity in 2003.

In conformity with the South African Sports Commission, SAFSSA (South African Federation of Sport and Sea Anglers) has nowaffiliated with the 4 other federations to form SASACC (South African Sport Angling and Casting Confederation). This body is oneunited body covering all facets of fishing which now administers the sport of angling and all the Governmental reporting, as afacilitating body.
