YARMOUTH – Dozens of veterans will get a day out on the waters off Cape Cod this weekend for the annual Operation Reel Heroes event.
More than 45 fishing boats carrying more than 60 veterans and their guests will leave from the Bass River Saturday morning to fish for several different species.
The day out on the water will finish with a lobster banquet with awards and raffles.
A welcome dinner with the veterans and boat captains will be held Friday night.
“We get to spend some really beautiful time with the veterans… and… give back to [them] for something that they really need,” says Art Johnson, Event Organizer.
