2006 Fluke Tournament
Bigger and Better Port Prizes for 2006
by Phil Celmer
(from Jersey Coast Anglers
Association February 2006 Newsletter)
Mark your calendar for June 10th
(fishing) and June 16th (ceremony). This year’s tournament
promises to be the best tournament in Jersey Coast’s 25 year history:
super port prizes - 120 of them, maybe more - and a fun time for all while
you help JCAA maintain its ability to fight for your fishing rights. This
tournament, in its twelfth year, is now one of the largest fishing events
in the country.
The Jersey Coast Fluke Tournament is a unique
concept that will again have twelve ports with each one having its own
mini-tournament with its own set of 10 prizes for 2006. The
fantastic Trump Marina Hotel Casino and JCAA will sponsor
the first place prizes of $1,200 cash for each port. Our second
place sponsor, Boater’s World, has a generous second place prize of
a $750 gift certificate good in all Boater’s World stores.
Raymarine’s third prize has been upgraded to the bigger, state of
the art, DS5000X T/M Digital High Definition Fish Finder. We are
especially pleased that Minn Kota
will be new major port sponsor this year.
Additional major port sponsors include: Maui Jim Sunglasses, Abu
Garcia/Fenwick, Canyon Gear International, American Fishing Wire/Hi-Seas,
Reel Saver and New Jersey Angler Magazine and others. We
are delighted to add Nor’east Magazine to this year’s media
sponsors. Nor’east web site is www.noreast.com:
This year we will be giving away over $110,000
in cash & prizes. Each contest is held at one of the twelve ports from
Jersey City in the north to Fortescue in the south with each port serving
as its own weigh station. Your crew, with up to six anglers, will
compete for 10 prizes at the port you select.
All participants are automatically eligible for
the Grand Prize donated by our other major sponsors, Century Boats and
Yamaha. The door prize is an 1801 Century Boat center console
with a 4 stroke Yamaha outboard and LoadRite trailer. This
fantastic fishing package will be awarded to a lucky angler after the huge
door-prize drawing at
Trump Marina Hotel Casino in
Atlantic City the following Friday, June 16th. Entry forms will
soon be available. In the meantime, you can go to

great sponsors and the latest news.
JCAA is looking for a part-time intern to
assist in the 2006 Fluke Tournament. Applicants should be familiar with
Microsoft Word, Access and Publisher. However, the main requirements are a
desire to be part of a great organization that is known for its honesty
and integrity for protecting the marine resource and the right of the
anglers that fish it. We can train you to do the rest. The Job runs from
April through July 1. The hours are flexible and only mid May through the
first week in June will be demanding. Please contact Phil Celmer at email
pcelmer@comcast.net
