LAST CALL FOR JERSEY COAST ANGLERS ASSOCIATION NEW FORMAT FLUKE TOURNAMENT 8/16-8/18 - YOU MUST BE ENTERED BY 11:59 PM ON THURSDAY 8/15. YOU MAY DO SO ONLINE UNTIL THAT TIME OR YOU MAY CALL 973-943-8201 TO PAY BY CREDIT CARD OR FAX YOUR APPLICATION WITH CREDIT CARD INFO TO 732-506-6975.
The Jersey Coast Anglers Association’s is second fluke tournament this summer on August 16th, 17th and 18th. The weather looks good and the fluking is finally picking up. Now is the time to start filling your freezer and perhaps win some cash! We are going to try an exciting new format and see how much interest it generates. For seven years in a row, we have had bad weather or a bad weather forecast on the day of our tournament. Therefore, this tournament will run for three days with hope that we will have good weather on at least one day. We realize that not everyone can fish two or three days, so to be fair to everyone, each boat will be limited to fishing only one day. However, each entrant will be able to choose the day they fish. The other major change is that the 1st through 5th place prizes will be based on the total weight of each entrant’s three largest fluke. This will take some of the luck factor out of the tournament and we are also limiting the number of anglers to 4 per boat to keep it a level playing field. Based on a minimum of 250 boats, 1st place will be $5000, 2nd place $2500, 3rd place $1500 and there will be gift certificates from our sponsors for 4th and 5th place. Additionally, there will be a $1000 prize for the largest fluke in caught in the tournament. We will also have $50 and $100 three fluke Calcuttas, $50 and $100 single fluke Calcuttas and even a $50 single seabass Calcutta.
This tournament is being run on short notice so there will only be four weigh-in stations this year, located in central part of our state. The weigh-in stations will be Fishermen’s Den in Belmar, Capt. Bills Landing Marina in Manasquan, Creekside Outfitters in Waretown and Fisherman’s Headquarters in Ship Bottom. However, if this new format works, we will add more weigh-in stations to the north and south next year. We hope to take the best features of both of our tournaments and combine them into one really good tournament next year.
The awards ceremony and Country Style Barbeque will be held at the Brick Athletic League Building from 5-9 PM on August 18th. Barbequed chicken, pulled pork, sausage & peppers, baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw, macaroni salad, soda and water will be served and you can BYOB as well. We will have a 50/50 and live entertainment will be provided by Ken and the Escorts!
Entry fee per boat (up to 4 anglers) is $150. The entry fee includes two admissions to the Awards Ceremony/BBQ but additional tickets may be purchased in advance for $25 each. Extra tickets will not be available at the door. You may sign up online until 11:59 PM on 8/15.
