Due to busy schedules all around, this year's trip is being auctioned off a little late. But, Commando Surfcasting has once again put together a truly unforgettable trip, fishing Block Island with some of the most knowledgeable fishermen.
Bidding will end on Saturday May 18th at precisely 8 PM. (8:00.00) Make sure to get your bids in early to ensure your chance to go on this trip of a lifetime! The cause: This trip will go to the highest bidder and will be to raise money for the Home Base Program , to help soldiers and veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries suffered from their service in Iraq and Afghanistan. The winning donation will be made DIRECTLY to the Run to Home Base Program and will be a 100% tax deductible charitable donation for the highest bidder.

If the bidding surpasses the $1500 mark it will be extended again. (June 4th-8th) Just fishing beneath the bluffs on Block Island will have you instantly hooked. Whether you're a hardcore wetsuiter or like staying dry in your waders this trip will be something you remember forever. Lodging will be in an Island style home that sleeps 8.
