Our new Office Manager, Karen Noe, sent out invoices for JCAA club dues and we have received a number of checks from: Seaside Heights Fishing Club, the Fish Hawks, Surf Kings Fishing Club, the Beach Buggy Fishing Club (NJBBA) and the Hudson River Fishermen’s Association (HRFA) Thank You All!
The Barrington Rod & Gun Club used to be a member of the JCAA and I am happy to report that this club has renewed its membership with us again largely through the efforts of its member Chris Tessing. Thanks Chris!
Visits to fishing clubs are planned by both Mark Taylor and me during 2023 to present our PowerPoint presentation on what the JCAA is all about. During January, we gave an in-person meeting to the Salt Water Anglers of Bergen County and followed it by a ZOOM presentation to the Coastal Fly Rodders Club. We have scheduled presentations on April 4th to the Newark Bait & Fly Casting Club, April 14th to the Village Harbor Fishing Club, and the Surf Kings Fishing Club on May 3rd. Our presentation to the Sunrise Rod & Gun Club is in the process of being scheduled.
Our JCAA presentation can be customized to fit into your club meeting schedule either by in-person or by ZOOM. We have done it about 20 minutes or about 45 minutes. We cover a lot of ground starting with the beginning of the JCAA, what the JCCA has accomplished, what it is working on today and the fishing challenges all of us anglers face in the future. We also take questions and provide answers to them to the best of our ability.
To schedule this JCAA PowerPoint presentation, I need to know the date when your club has its meeting, the time of it, the address of the meeting location and the contact person to arrange your meeting with me. I have been contacting clubs to schedule this PowerPoint presentation and I would appreciate your getting back to me at your earliest convenience so that I can arrange our meeting with you.
Also, I would like to have updated emails of your club representatives so that we can send you the agendas of our general membership meeting and also contact you on important issues that may quickly come up about our fisheries.
Our next JCAA General Membership meeting is on February 28th, and it will be done both as an in-person meeting and also by ZOOM at the Shark Anglers building in Herbertsville starting at 7:30 p.m.
I can be contacted at tothjohn@verizon.net or at (732) 656-0139 if you have any questions.
