We are have all been affected by cancer in someway, the Fish Nerds decided that since October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we would find a way to support this cause. So we partnered with www.mainetunafishing.com and put together a fundraiser for the month. We are going to have special giveaways and tons of fun things all month long, all aimed at raising money for National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. Money raised goes directly to paying for mammograms and education. https://fundraise.nbcf.org/fundraise?fcid=778891

The Fish Call: Is Calling Fish The Next Big Thing?
A proposed product called "The Fish Call" is taking Kickstarter by storm. As of the time of this recording, father and son team Jeff and Jack Danos are 664% funded, with $66,471pledged - and they still have 18 days to go! We caught up with the 16 year-old Jack and asked him some questions our fans had about their new product. What kind of fish does it attract? What is the science behind its development? Jack was great at answering the questions and he was a good sport dealing with the Nerds as we had fun pitching new sound ideas and joking about going to his homeschool prom. We hope this young entrepreneur can turn "The Fish Call" into the next Duck Dynasty (Fish Nerd Fan Jeff Dannaldson suggested Redfish Regime).
