By now, you should have received our mailing of this year’s Fluke Tournament entry forms and High Roller Raffle tickets. If you haven’t, either they’re lost in the mail or you’re not on the mailing list. Contact me at the JCAA office ASAP and I’ll look into resolving either issue. Next, go get a pen and mark June 11th (Fluke Tournament) and June 17th (Awards Ceremony) on your calendar. These two dates will mark the JCAA 17th Annual Fluke Tournament. Now that you’ve done that, get your phone or get to the computer and start contacting your fishing buddies. Get your crew of up to six anglers on board with these dates.
These two dates mark opportunities to fish and win big! There are 120 port prizes available to be won on June 11th. That’s twelve prizes for each of the ten ports ranging from Jersey City in the north to Fortescue in the south. Each port competes against its own registered boaters and serves as its own weigh station. The heaviest fluke weighed in at the ten ports will win $1,200 cash 1st Place Prize! The remaining eleven prizes can be seen on our website.
Then there’s the $5,000 to $10,000 Grand Prize* (*depending on the number of entries over 500). Winning the Grand Prize at the June 17th Awards Ceremony isn’t determined by who weighed in the largest fluke, nor if your crew consisted of skilled anglers. Winning this bundle of cash and door prizes are the same for one and all. Everyone has an equal chance of winning and is automatically entered to win providing you or one of your crew register at the tables outside the Trump Marina Hotel Casino Grand Cayman Ballroom.
Entry forms are available at jcaa.org as well as links to our great sponsors.
For those not having internet access, call (732-506-6565) or write to me at the JCAA office. Entry, t-shirt and hat forms will be mailed to you immediately.
A few other dates to note are April 15th, 16th, and 17th.
Come visit our booth at the West Marine Show in Brick where I will be accepting tournament entry forms and offering helpful hints for landing a doormat (tournament winning) fluke to anyone who asks.
