JCKF Jamboree for Heroes on the Water Announcement!

Dear Kayak Anglers,

Jersey Cape Kayak Fishing would like to announce that we have set the date for the 3rd Annual Cape May Kayak Fishing Jamboree for Friday, 10/19/12 through Sunday, 10/21/12. Registration is now open at JCKF.net. This is a charity event to raise funds and awareness for Heroes on the Water. The entry fee is $50 and includes a T-shirt, Dinner on Saturday night and Raffle Ticket. Registration can be found at https://jckf-forum.forumotion.net/t775-jckf-registration-2012

In the strictest of terms, this event in not 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 switched to a Jamboree type of format last year and everyone had a blast!

We are already receiving donations from sponsors to be raffled off to raise money for H.O.W. 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. Please visit their sites and consider their products when shopping.

A NON-mandatory meet and greet bon-fire meeting will be held on Friday, October 19, 2012 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 for last two years.) 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. Lake Laurie Campground 669 Route 9, Cape May,NJ-08204 (609)884-3567 http://www.morganrvresorts.com/omkara/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=48&Itemid=195

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 check out the full info on JCKF.net or email us at;

Starting to get a lot of registrations now. Looks like Tog are starting to pile up too! Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

Hey Chris does this campsite have full hook ups? And will I be able to fit a 31' camper?

Okay, I'm going to fill out the form and get it down to you, Chris. I'm reserving a site for SeaFlea and myself, if I can get through on the phone.
I promise to try and keep all my bones in one piece this year!

Dang! Every time I see herder's avatar, I want to have a beer-go figure! I got my campsite reserved! Charlie and I have site 18, right next to Skip and Flyguide.

Awesome! Can,t wait to see everyone. I hear they are padding all of the trees, roots and picnic tables around your site and the Wolf Den sites!!!

Kevin, hook ups are on all sites I believe. As for length, you should contact the campground.

Chris, mailed out the form and check for registration today. Let me know if you get it.

Will do Artie.

I'm in.... registration and campsite taken care of. will be there on Thurs.

Campsite is booked for the weekend. Can we pay at the site for the jamboree or do we have to send in a check? I can't wait to do some down south fishing.

You can pay at the site, but you won't have food or tshirt or capt bag or raffle ticket

Damn you why dont you just take away everything lol I'll be mailing out my check this week

CHANGE TO JAMBOREE ITINERARY - Sunday lunch has been moved back to Saturday dinner at 6pm. Awards, raffles, dinner and adult beverages can now be had all evening with friends with no one needing to drive anywhere. Sunday will be a fish for fun and pack up day. Lake Laurie allows us to stay all day on Sunday, so there is no rush.

Great move, it gives you the option to pack up Sunday and leave early.

I'll be down there on Thursday, site #44. Will you guys be there too like last year?

James

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Fabulous, what a splendid plan
Got my campsite from Thursday till Monday.
Plenty of time to fish, and Saturday should be a blast.

SWEET!!!!!!! I'll have my rod ready to fish.

Same thing as last year except we have a lot of weakfish in the area!

I'm working on updating maps, hot spots and launches now.

If you haven't gotten your registrations in, move you butts!
