Jersey Coast Anglers Association will be at the following shows in 2016:
We are coming to the end of 2015 and I hope everyone had great year. It’s time to start thinking of things we need to do before the start of the 2016 season. Some of us may be winterizing the boat, going through all the rods, reels and tackle boxes by inspecting everything and making a list to see what needs to be replaced or repaired. Once you have that list together then you start thinking which show am I going to get the best bargains at. By going to the shows you have the best chances of getting what you need from the best manufactures and vendors that attend these shows. So mark the dates in your calendar of each of the shows so you don’t miss them. While you are at the shows stop by and say hello to the volunteers at the JCAA Booth. Don’t forget to pick up your High Roller Raffle tickets for a chance on some very nice prizes. If your club is a member of JCAA or you just want to get involved with JCAA here is how. To become a volunteer at one of the shows with JCAA, please contact me at mtsport64@aol.com. I will answer every email that is sent to me. I am looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the shows. Here is something about each of the shows:
