Bigger and Better Port Prizes for 2006
by Phil Celmer
(from Jersey Coast Anglers
Association June 2006 Newsletter)
Be sure to enter the JCAA Fluke tournament now. Remember, after June
1st the tournament fee goes from $100 to $125. Your participation not only
guarantees a great time and a chance for many fabulous prizes for you &
your crew, it also allows you to support the work that JCAA does for all
recreational anglers. The Jersey Coast Fluke Tournament Survey that we
conduct during the tournament supplies valuable fisheries information that
the state and the National Marine Fisheries Service uses. JCAA is a
non-profit 501-c3 charitable organization.
This year promises to be the best tournament in Jersey Coast history, as
the first place prize will be sponsored by the fantastic Trump Marina
Hotel Casino and JCAA. We are especially pleased that Fisherman’s
Headquarters, port LBI, will be sponsoring their local port. This year
each of the twelve first place prizes will be $1,200. Our sponsor
Boater’s World, has a generous
second place prize of a $750 gift certificate.
Raymarine’s third prize is a state
of the art DS5000X T/M Digital High Definition Fish Finder and seven other
great port prizes from these sponsors: Maui Jim Sunglasses,
Minn Kota,
Canyon Gear,
American Fishing Wire/High
Seas, Abu Garcia / Fenwick
and, New Jersey Angler Magazine and
our new media sponsor Nor’east
magazine and others.
This year we will be giving away over $110,000 in 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 only compete with other anglers at
the port you select for 10 prizes.
All participants are automatically eligible for the Grand Prize Century
1801 center console now 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. Due to your inputs much more additional
seating will be available and 25% off dockage is available the day of the
ceremony. If you and your crew arrive at Trump Marina Hotel Casino before
3:00 you will each receive (up to 4 per entry) a $5.00 coupon for dinner
at selected restaurants. There are limited hotel rooms available at Trump
Marina Hotel Casino at a special JCAA price so call early. Mention
JCAA Fluke Tournament and group reference: FLUKE 06 when you call
