Fishing Club Saturdays – A Reel Success! On October 18th, Vet Info, in partnership with U.S. Southern Command Garrison, MWR, and the BOSS Program, hosted Fishing Club Saturdays at the facility. The event was a big success, giving service members and their families a chance to enjoy the outdoors together. Children and adults alike had the opportunity to learn fishing techniques from Vet Info staff and Bass Pro Shops Pro Staff Captain Bill Watts. While not everyone landed a catch, smiles were abundant and memories were made! We’re excited to continue this fun and educational event into 2026 — helping even more families get hooked on fishing.
🎣 All equipment is provided. Please note: Participants must have a valid ID card allowing entry through security.
