JCAA will have a booth at the Atlantic City Boat Show again this year. I will be at the booth Wednesday and Thursday so stop by and say hello. There will be no Philadelphia Boat Show this year and the New York Boat Show has already past. This will be one of your only chances to see the latest boats and engines by different manufacturers. There will also be booths with all the new electronics and marine hardware that is available. This is the largest boat show in the New York metropolitan area and can be reached by bus or train. There are also some great seminars by leading anglers and I have included the schedule below. While you are there, you can also visit Trump Marina Hotel Casino, one of our Fluke Tournament sponsors.
