Following are the results of Saturday's Fluke Tournament as submitted by the JCAA. There were two doormats weighed, both at the Sandy Hook port. Several valuable prizes went unclaimed when even a mere "keeper" could have won them.  20th Annual JCAA Fluke Tournament - Final Results August 2nd, 2014 732-506-6565 jcaa@jcaa.org Web page http://jcaa.org/ JCAA 20th ANNUAL FLUKE TOURNAMENT PORT PRIZE WINNERS Come to the Awards Ceremony at The Holiday Inn in Manahawkin Wednesday evening, August 6, 2014. Come early to register (4 PM to 7 PM). Drawing starts promptly at 7:00 PM. The 20th Annual JCAA Fluke Tournament took place on August 2nd. Weather conditions were tough but some outstanding catches were made. The Tournament had 285 boats competing in 9 ports. The bad weather caused us to have the lowest number of entries which means the participating boats had the best chance ever to win a port prize. The 10 port prizes are listed below. The largest fish weighed in was 11 lbs. and was caught by Roman Nelson from Matawan, NJ and weighed in at Sandy Hook. Tom Trembula of Cookstown, NJ had the smallest fish qualifying for a port prize weighing in at 2.10 lbs weighed in at the LBI port. All the winners from each port are listed below. The Sandy Hook port had the largest fish and the largest average total weight. This annual tournament provides funds to help the Jersey Coast Anglers Association continue its fight to protect the marine resource, fund summer flounder research and fight for the rights of the recreational angler. JCAA deals with many issues. Currently, we are fighting to get the pots off the reefs, seismic testing, fluke regionalization, sand mining of our offshore lumps and jetty notching. The Holiday Inn in Manahawkin is the host for the 20th Annual Jersey Coast Fluke Tournament Gala Awards Ceremony. The Holiday Inn invites tournament entrants to come and enjoy their facilities both before and after the awards ceremony and the Holiday Inn will give 10 percent off your dinner bill for those who choose to eat there. You can meet JCAA Executive Board members and representatives from our sponsors. This is your chance to win the boat, motor and trailer Grand Prize. In fact, 16 of the last 19 Grand Prize winners did not weigh in a qualifying port prize fish in the tournament. Someone from your boat must be present to win the Grand Prize and any of the dozens of great door prizes. We want to thank all tournament participants and especially our sponsors for making the tournament a success. Our nationally known sponsors include West Marine, Interlux Yacht Paint, Costa Sunglasses, RJ Marine Service, The Fisherman Magazine, Yamaha, Canyon Reels and Boat U.S, The $1,200 First Place Port Prizes were sponsored by Fisherman's Headquarters (for Long Beach Island), South Harbor Marina (for Barnegat Bay), Hoffman's Marina (for Manasquan), Liberty Landing Marina (for Jersey City), and RJ Marine Service (for Cape May), and the remaining ports by the JCAA.
