First annual Elmer Schultz fishing trip

On Saturday October 18, Elmer Schultz held its first annual fishing trip out of Cape May, NJ aboard the Cape May Lady.  Opening day for sea bass did not disappoint and offered non-stop action.  Aboard for the trip was Elmer Schultz employees from throughout the Tri-State area.  Additionally, we were thrilled to be joined by Manufacturer Representatives Lenny Di Note and Peter Tew from Moccia Enterprises, Chef Norbert Zastavny from Rational and Restaurateur Dmitri Chimes.   Mallon’s Sticky Buns Owner Jody Bourgeois won the prize for first fish, while Elmer Schultz Service Manager Tim Lochel took the prize for heaviest fish. It was truly an epic day.
