Strictly Jersey, 2010 • April 30th, May 1st & 2nd
“A new and different kind of boat show”
MANUFACTURERS • DEALERS • MARINE SUPPLIERS • BOATERS |
| Manufacturers are bringing people back onto the assembly lines (ACY Press, 2/3/10), dealers are reporting an uptick in sales and suppliers are preparing for a busy boating season. Earlier this month, despite the worst snow storm of the new century, the attendance at the Atlantic City Power Boat Show was both brisk and engaging. |
| The signs are good, and the signs all point to an active buying season this spring. |
| And the best news of all is that it is not too late to get on board with the Strictly Jersey Boat Show! |

TOPLESSS IS TOPS!
The record book takes another beating as the
2009 Mid-Atlantic draws to a close.
|
| Talk about consistency! For the third consecutive year the final day of the Mid-Atlantic $500,000 produced a tournament record in the white marlin category! As predicted the weather began to deteriorate with the initial effect of Hurricane Bill’s far reaching wind starting to impact the east coast as the tournament drew to a close. On Day Five only 11 boats headed offshore in sporty sea conditions and one would believe topping Thursday’s record-setting weigh-in session would not be possible. But this is the Mid-Atlantic $500,000 and Day Five heroics and last minute changes have become very common. |

| Moving Day came a day early at the 2009 Mid-Atlantic $500,000. Traditionally, the tournament has seen some of the biggest changes to the leaderboard occur on the final day of the event but with weather conditions expected to deteriorate by week’s end, 95 boats headed offshore on Day Four and the leaderboard took a beating in several categories. In other news today outside of the billfish and tuna categories, a new tournament record wahoo was weighed. |

| After a night of powerful thunderstorms and heavy rain passed through the south Jersey coast overnight, Day Three of the 2009 Mid-Atlantic $500,000 dawned sunny and breezy and 62 boats gave it a go and found favorable conditions offshore. It was an early and exciting start to this evening’s weigh-in session as Captain Ryan Higgins aboard Pat Healy’s Viking 68 based in New Gretna, New Jersey backed to the scales and weighed a white marlin of 77 pounds which was bested by angler Drew McDowell of Palm Beach, Florida and took the lead in the category. Gina Addeo’s Gina Lisa from Staten Island, New York is now in second place with a 75 pounder. Steve Castellini’s Uncle T from Ocean City, New Jersey is third place with a 74-pound white marlin. |

| Offshore winds freshened a bit as the day wore on creating a light chop for the 123 boats that fished on Day Two of the 2009 Mid-Atlantic $500,000 and although the billfish bite continued, it was tough for participants to find a white marlin heavier than the current third place fish of 71 pounds. Several blue marlin were also caught though none were weighed. At the close of this evening’s weigh-in session, no changes had occurred in any of the weight categories. |

| After tabulating all the entries and adding up the calcutta figures, the 2009 Mid-Atlantic $500,000 field is set at 136 boats with a total cash purse of $1,761,602! Tournament week got off to a great start as the weatherman delivered a perfect day and 127 boats headed offshore on Day One. The scales were busy shortly after the 5 p.m. opening as several qualifying fish were weighed during this evening’s weigh-in session at both Canyon Club Resort Marina in Cape May, New Jersey and Sunset Marina in Ocean City, Maryland and a lot of familiar names can be found on the leaderboard. |

| Number don’t lie! A $1,761,602.00 purse, 137 boats entered, two new tournament records and six solid days of fishing, fun and camaraderie… those were the numbers that defined the 2009 Mid-Atlantic $500,000. This is a tournament that continues to grow and get better with each passing year. As one participant so aptly put it last year, “We can fish any tournament, but this is more than a tournament, this is the Mid-Atlantic!” |
