Good Afternoon Anglers,
We're still looking for more boat operators for our May 11th event. If you or someone you know may be interested, please have them reach out!
If you're fishing the Destination Nackawic Open the following weekend, this a great opportunity to take a veteran out while you take a look around.
We will also be funding a small portion of fuel costs as we did in previous years. Register today, we'll team you up with a veteran and you can show them a great time on the water! 🎣

Good Day Anglers,
Its been a busy winter and with just over a month until the event kicks off we'd like to get the registration list updated. This is what we currently have for registrations. If there has been changes to your plans please reach out asap and we'll make the changes.
We're also still actively looking for boaters and co-anglers and we look forward to seeing everyone in Nackawic in May!

Getting stocked up for the 2024 season with Terminal Tackle from local New Brunswick tackle creator Rob Nickerson and 506 Tackle Supply.

I can personally attest to the 506 line up's quality, durability and reasonable price point. The 1/4 Swing Jig paired with a Shakey style worm was highly effective on finicky Largemouth on Lake Hamilton, Arkansas this summer targeting brush piles with Garmin Marine Canada's Live Scope.

NOW, the proof in the pudding, pairing a 1/4 EWG 2/0 with a 4" worm this jig locked into not only my first fish of the morning in the CSFL 1000 Island Cup but also my PB Smallmouth, 3 times this megalodon came clear out of the water and made multiple runs which had my drag singing like an aging Mariah Carey, she stayed pinned securing us a fat check, 4th place finish over some real-deal hammers and BIG fish of the day. Some fisherman tell lies, 6.50LB Smallmouth do NOT!!

Attention Anglers!! Postponed!!!

Good morning anglers. It is with great disappointment that we have decided to postpone the event for September 16, 2023 out for Carleton Park, Fredericton.
Most have you have probably been following the weather or have seen that a hurricane is coming up north off the East Coast of the US. We've scanned over countless models and predictions to try and make the best possible decision with the data currently available to us. Every path we've seen has the storm hitting NB directly or severely impacting NB with high winds and rain with only 1 slim chance of it missing us.
This event is more about maximum participation of our Veterans then it is the tournament itself as well as creating a safe environment to participate in a friendly competition.
There will be a post following this one to receive input from the boat volunteers and co-anglers as to which dates would work the best for everyone. As stated above this event is about maximum participation and will select a date based off of the consensus of the ones participating.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we sort out the details!
