2006 Fluke Tournament
Bigger and Better Port Prizes for 2006
by Phil Celmer
(from Jersey Coast Anglers
Association March 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
