Dear Anglers,
Jersey Cape Kayak Fishing would like to announce that we have set the date for
the 2nd Annual Cape May Kayak Fishing Jamboree for Friday, 10/21/11 through
Sunday, 10/23/11. This is a charity event.
Changes are being made to our entire format. In the strictest of terms, this event will no longer be a tournament. We want it to be more of a gathering of friends for the sake of the camaraderie found within this sport and leave the formalities out. For this reason, we have dropped any & all entry fees and have gone with a Jamboree type of format. Dinner, Event T-shirts, and expenses will cost approx $40.00 per person and that will be the only required fee.
We are already receiving donations from sponsors to be raffled off to raise money for charity. Many companies donate for the sake of promoting the sport and supporting various charities. These are the companies that we have chosen to align ourselves with in 2011.
Ok, what the hell is a Jamboree, right? Well, what would you call it? Let me lay out our format, and you tell us what to call it;
A NON-mandatory meet and greet bon-fire meeting will be held on Friday, October 21, 2011 at 6pm, at the Lake Laurie Campground (Event Headquarters) located in Erma, NJ. This meeting will be about general information and we’ll be sharing some up to date hot spots. We’ll open up the raffles and Calcutta’s at this time too. We’ll also need to satisfy the traditional good luck toast. Please bring a beverage of your choosing to the meeting.For bragging rights, and for those with a competitive edge, we will be having some prizes and a few Calcutta’s. Target species will be Striped Bass, Weakfish, Bluefish, Fluke and Tautog. Individual species, Slam and Grand Slam categories will be created.
We recommend that everyone stay at the Lake Laurie Campground. (We had the entire campground to ourselves last year.) Plenty of clean bathrooms, showers and laundry are on site. The staff there is awesome and we had an absolute blast last year. If you weren’t there, talk to someone that was. You’ll be told not to miss it.
We are in the planning stages of adding; kayak fishing clinics, sponsor booths, on the water kayak demos, and fresh water fishing within the tournament headquarters all through the weekend long event. Each participant will receive an event T-shirt and dinner at the banquet to be held on Saturday at 5pm.
If you have any questions about the event or would like to become a sponsor or exhibitor, please feel free to email or call us at;
