Meet up is at 5:30 AM sharp for boat assignments and a safety briefing! Each Veteran or Active Duty Service Member will be paired with a seasoned captain for an epic day of catfishing on the Mighty James River. After a full day on the water, we’ll gather at the pavilion for a well-deserved meal, camaraderie, and celebration. This event is 100% FREE for Veterans and Active Duty Service Members!
But that’s not all—stick around after fishing for:
* Socializing with fellow heroes
