Participants will enjoy a whole day of fishing and fun in the sun with some of the most enthusiastic fishermen ever to grace the Patriots gridiron.
"This event is a great opportunity for Patriots alumni to share their love of fishing with fans that have the same passion," said Peter Brock, NEPAC president. "Not only is this a fun day, but it is one of our main fundraising activities that helps NEPAC promote and fund youth football and high school sports programs throughout the region."
