Fishing, surfing, Make a Wish: 5 things to do this weekend

The Daily Times

Incoming boats show the flags to let the crowd know of the catch. Bras also fly in support of breast cancer awareness. Part of the Poor Girls Open prize money is donated to the American Cancer Society.

Even though the White Marlin Open has come and gone, there's still plenty of fishing to be done on Delmarva as summer winds down.

Between fishing, surfing and plenty of other events, there is a lot of fun to be had at the beaches this weekend.

Here are five fun things to do.

Poor Girls Open

This week, the 24th annual Poor Girls Open takes place in Ocean City at the Bahia Marina on the bayside by 22nd Street. The ladies-only billfish release tournament benefits breast cancer research. More than 100 boats are expected to participate.

For non-fishers, there are silent auctions, 50/50 tickets, T-shirts for sale and other fun events at the marina. In the past three years, it has raised more than $100,000.

Tickets are $60 and will be available at the door on a limited basis.
