This years ILTTA Tournament will be held and hosted at Cap Cana Marina.  The International Light tackle Tournament Association was formed in 1946 by Dr Roy B Dean and has become a yearly event with fishing clubs around the world joining in this exciting competition.  Dr Roy B Dean’s idea was to have competition between teams of 3 individuals representing fishing under IGFA rules.  The 3 man teams would fish separately and change boats and partners through out each day of the tournament, this is still the winning formula for the ILTTA continues after 50 years. 

The prize is an ornate Mexican fishing belt as the perpetual trophy with four plaques being awarded to the best fishing club and also to individual anglers.  Santo Domingo Yacht Club is sponsoring the event.  Deep Sea Fishing attracts many tourists each year to the Dominican Republic and we are proud at therealdr.com to recommend Gone Fishing an island wide deep sea fishing company which offers supurb half day fishing charters from Puerto Plata and Punta Cana.  Click here to discover the wet and wild world of Deep Sea Fishing in the Dominican Republic.
