This type of stuff isn’t easy- and anyone who tells you differently either hasn’t done it before, or they’re kidding themselves. For the second year in a row, the AAF, in partnership with WeDoGood, has hosted an exclusive fishing tournament over on the Atlantic coast.

This, in turn, would have been instrumental in forming future conservation actions across the Chesapeake Bay.
