JCAA 2001 Fluke Tournament
(from Jersey Coast Anglers Association March 2000 Newsletter)
Mark your Calendar now for the 7th annual Jersey Coast Fluke Tournament, scheduled for Saturday June 9th, 2001.The Jersey Coast Fluke Tournament is a unique concept that will now include eleven mini-tournaments, each with its own set of prizes. Each contest is held at one of the eleven ports from Jersey City in the north to Fortescue in the south. You will compete for over $2,300 in prizes for the port you select including a first place prize of $1,000 for the heaviest fish weighed in at your port. Each port now has its own weigh station. Scott’s has been replaced with Great Bay Marina and Fisherman’s Headquarters is now handling all of Long Beach Island. All participants are automatically eligible for the Grand Prize of a boat, motor and trailer that will be selected during the door-prize drawing at Resorts Hotel Casino in Atlantic City the following Friday, June 15th. This year should be especially enjoyable, as Resorts will be hosting the event in their theater.
This fun packed event is important to all recreational fishermen. The Jersey Coast Anglers Association, the eyes, ears and voice of recreational fishermen in New Jersey, has been working hard to protect the marine environment and the fisheries we enjoy as part of this great sport we all love. With 19 years experience carrying out this important work JCAA is a leading advocacy group on the East Coast. JCAA, a non profit, volunteer association, works diligently with local and state government to increase fishing access, expand fishing opportunities and also operates one of the most successful youth education programs anywhere in the country. By entering the Jersey Coast Fluke Tournament we all benefit as the proceeds go to help JCAA continue its work. Entry slips will be available in upcoming issues as prizes are firmed.
Applications will be mailed to all of last year’s anglers in the next few weeks
