SA BASS Online - The official home of SA BASS Magazine.

SA BASS is a monthly, high quality, full colour magazine catering exclusively for the bass angling community in South Africa. It is designed as a specialist bass fishing publication catering for a well-defined niche market. The magazine is distributed country-wide by Republican News Agency to outlets such as tackle stores, C.N.A, Exclusive Books and Spar, and also to accredited outlets in Namibia, Swaziland and Botswana. Our MISSION is to promote bass angling as a socially acceptable and popular outdoor recreational activity; in addition it encourages acceptable angling ethics. As such SA BASS provides pertinent information on a wide range of subject matter. These include up to date reporting on the activities of the Society and its members, providing a platform for informed debate on issues affecting the sport of bass angling, providing information on bass angling strategies and techniques, bass angling waters and opportunities, and also creating awareness of new products. Within this editorial mix there is due consideration given to developing the sport among all the country's people (including the youth), and to the practical conservation of the country's natural resources. The Marketing Director responsible for advertising and promotions is Wilma Lindeque who established BB Print in 1999 as a print brokerage company.

The magazine has achieved several notable milestones in its eleven years. Hannes Lindeque is also a regular contributor to a bass fishing programme on Radio Pretoria SA BASS/Baars was also the very first fishing magazine in South Africa to gain sponsorship for a bass boat and tow vehicle, sponsored by Monaco Leisure/Evinrude and Nissan SA Having steadfastly stuck to its stated objective of operating on sound business principles, and not just as a hobby, SA Bass magazine is now a well-established business entity within the country’s leisure industry. SA Bass magazine is a significant role player on the bass fishing scene, with a sound reputation in the commercial sector that serves it. It has also spread its influence to the U.S. where it has achieved participating status in the FLW Tournament Trail. In its initial two years the magazine was the official publication of the SA Bass Angling Association, the controlling body of competitive bass fishing, but has subsequently relinquished this position, preferring to keep out of the politics.
