After an outstanding event last year with over 50 veterans participating, the “Great Gun Moriches Anglers” will be hosting its 6th annual “Take a Vet Fishing” on Saturday, July 26th, 2025. The event kicks off with an 8:00 a.m. registration and sign in at the Union Ave Dock, Center Moriches. Note, the club is also working on electronic registration through its Facebook Page. We are hoping to have this in place soon. Remember to follow us on Facebook or Instagram for updated club and event information.
After registration, the Veterans are assigned to a boat and captain. These boats all come from club members and local volunteers. Further, bait and gear is also provided to the anglers at no cost by Hart’s Cove Bait and Tackle, L&L Wholesale Bait (https://www.llbait.com) and Charlie Prott. The Veterans are then treated to a full day out on Moriches Bay to enjoy some fishing, fun, stories and hopefully some sunshine. Past catches have included everything from fluke, sea robins, striped bass, bluefish and even 200-plus pound sharks. At 3:00 p.m. it’s back to Center Moriches Union Ave. Brooklyn Dock for a well-deserved BBQ. This year they will have the NY BBQ Brigade (https://www.facebook.com/nybbqbrigade) catering the BBQ for all participants.
