🗓️ Saturday, November 7, 2026
⏰ Fishing from 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍  Occoneechee State Park -  1192 Occoneechee Park Rd, Clarksville, VA
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 Kerr Reservoir (AKA Buggs Island) . 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! 

Fishing has long been known to provide therapeutic benefits — reducing stress, improving mental wellness, and fostering meaningful connection. 
Hooked on Heroes creates a space where Veterans can step away from daily pressures, reconnect with fellow service members, and build new relationships in a supportive, welcoming environment.

What Veterans Can Expect:

A fully supported fishing experience on beautiful Kerr Reservoir

Pairing with experienced boat captains and volunteers

Camaraderie with fellow Veterans from across the region

Meals, fellowship, and a community that understands service

A fun, competitive tournament atmosphere with prizes and recognition

But that’s not all—stick around after fishing for:

* Socializing with fellow heroes
* Exciting prize giveaways
* Fun activities and more!

 Whether you’re a returning guest or joining us for the first time, Hooked on Heroes 2026 promises memories, new friendships, and the healing power of time on the water.
Spots are limited—don’t miss your chance to be part of something special! 

Additionally, we are attempting to cover all our vets lodging from Nov-6 to the morning of Nov 7th.
