Cape May Kayak Fishing Jamboree
October 20 @ 6:00 pm - October 22 @ 12:00 pm
This, our 8th year! The Jamboree has some changes and twists so please pay attention.
JCKF Cape May Kayak Fishing Jamboree Format Change
We have decided to change up the Jamboree format. From this point on, the event no longer requires registration fees, or any real structure. Those that want to fish with friends are encouraged to join us Oct 20-22 to camp, fish, and enjoy what has always been a good time.
There will be no prizes, no food, no shirts, or raffles. We will hold several $5 Calcutta’s for those that want to join. For those that want to enter a Calcutta now, you can do so by clicking on the link to the FaceBook page and entering. By entering online, you are promising to submit the proper amount into the Calcutta once you arrive to the event.CLICK HERE
You can also enter in person before 6pm at the camp or have a friend do it for you. At 6pm, we will disclose what the identifier is and you may begin the Calcutta.
This year, we plan to gather at Lake Laurie Campground, (Now a K.O.A.). The campground is offering a 10% off group rate for the event. Just mention the KAYAK EVENT. The Kayak Fishing Store location is undergoing ownership change and site renovation. We will not be able to camp there this year as planned. This happened quickly and left us scrambling for an alternate camping location.
The Event Page is up on FaceBook under Jersey Cape Kayak Fishing. Folks, please say whether you are coming or not so we have an idea of who’s in and can send you info updates.
We will of course be spreading the word about Heroes on the Water and we may have shirts, etc on the side to help raise funds and awareness for this great group of people.
Pay Attention. If you have a question, post it on our JCKF Forum or on our JCKF Facebook page.
If you call the store or ring my cell, this is the exact advice that you will receive.
