Jersey Coast Anglers Association Heavy Hitters Fluke Tournament 8/3 – 8/6
Once again, JCAA is running its Heavy Hitters Fluke Tournament for four days, 8/3-8/6. We realize that not everyone can fish two, three, or four 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. We are hopeful that we will have nice weather on at least one of those days. We have made some significant adjustments to our rules. It is most important to read the rules pertaining to the doormat fluke category where you can win $25,000., as the names the Captain and crew members must be provided to SCA promotions by 9 PM on 8/4. Of course, that is only for those who designate Saturday, 8/5 as their fishing day. There is no special entry fee for the doormat fluke category. We also lowered the entrance fee with hope that we will attract more participants. As we did last year, prizes will be based on the weight of the single largest fluke. We would prefer to use a 3 fluke total but did this because New Jersey only allows one fish over 18”, which means 3 different anglers would have to catch a larger fluke to be competitive. Some of our entrants fish with only one or two anglers. However, we will still have 1 fluke and 3 fluke Calcuttas for those who want to compete in that more skilled category. We will also have sea bass Calcuttas. We plan on paying out about 50% of the entrance fees minus the cost of the doormat fluke category insurance for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes. The entry fee per boat is $150 after 7/26 for up to 6 anglers/people per boat. Visit www.jcaa.org to register online or to print an application or for complete details.
