Our mission is simple…to get veterans out of the clinical environment for a relaxing day of fishing. Everything is provided including equipment, food, and beverages.

After that…things take care of themselves. Take A Vet Fishing was established in 2007, and we are now in our 17th season working with veterans.

Our first event this year celebrated the milestone of taking 12,000 veterans out fishing!
