JCAA Sportsperson of the Year

2018

Arnie Ulrich

Hudson River Fisherman’s Association.

“There is no other more deserving person than Arnie Ulrich for the JCAA Sportsperson-of-the-year award. This HRFA member has been a super-active participant from the year he joined in 1979. Arnie has held every office except treasurer including the maximum three years as our leader and president.

Probably most importantly, he has served as our membership secretary for many years and has literally enrolled thousands of members over the years not to mention keeping accurate tabs on those late with dues and getting timely renewal notices out every year.

Arnie also is a major organizer of fishing trips for both association members and their friends. He is responsible for annual trips to fish for cod, pollack, and haddock in Maine and has yearly local trips which usually run out of Belmar for fluke, blackfish and flounder in their appropriate seasons.

The man is an expert angler for all of these species with stripers and bluefish also in his bag of tricks. Arnie has frequently been a guest speaker for our group and others where he gives great advice to new anglers seeking to up their scores.
