The 2018 Fish For a Cure charity fishing tournament was held November 3 in choppy and windy conditions (blowing 20 mph at Thomas Point with gusts up to 34mph!). 80 boats participated and collectively raised more than $500,000 in the Paul C. Dettor Captain's Challenge! That money will support cancer survivorship programs at the Geaton and JoAnn Decesaris Cancer Institute at Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC). Team FishTalk/PropTalk ended up 14th in the Captain's Challenge, having met our goal of raising $10,000! THANK YOU to everyone who made donations to our team. In the fishing category, our team placed second in the perch division.
