I always loved to fish from the deck of the ship I was deployed on, and I did accumulate 14 years of sea duty in my 23 years in the navy. . The old man would bring the ship to a crawl, hundreds of miles at sea, and announce fish call. Grab a rod from the special services locker and catch a fish... bring all fish to the Mess decks for the cooks to prepare a fish chow call! The skipper might even pass a swim call too! Both were always good for moral, not to mention the good fresh fish we got to eat!

I caught these red drum, bass and catfish at Lake Calaveras TX about 40 miles south of San Antonio TX. I caught them on a fish head spin jig with a trailer hook on the damm by the power plant.

You can catch just about any sunfish variety, (bluegill, greens, pumpkinseed, red breast, largemouth etc.) anywhere along the shoreline where you can access, or out in the lake from a kayak or small boat, no gas motors allowed.

Anywhere anytime. However, my current favorite spot is on my farm in my ponds. Never stocked them but hey are full of Bass, Crappie, Black Hybrid bream, and some Catfish. When I am overwhelmed sometimes and my PTSD kicks in I go fishing and it calms me right down. Just me and the outdoors. I catch and release mostly.

That's a beauty and just looking at your pond I would guess there are a lot of lunkers in there that will keep your PTSD in check. Just looking at your picture with that awesome setting and bass momentarily helped mine . Thank you.

SPC Michael Duricko, Ph.D - I am glad...that is an escape for me. I am blessed to have it close. When I am feeling overwhelmed about anything I just go fishing. Sometimes I catch fish but most times I catch a better attitude and outlook.

I was stationed in northern Virginia and used to fish fountainhead all the time even caught a citation crappie jigging between the dock boards on the little dock down the hill from the concession-bait shop I had thought about that place for a long time thanks

PFC John Bruton - Fountainhead is indeed a wonderful Oasis nestled in Virginia.. Beaverdam creek Reservoir is another hidden gem of NOVA Parks in Brambleton, VA.. I'm getting the tackle together right now to head over to Fountainhead! A great boat day is on the way.. HOOAH!

I've caught many big fish, but everytime I'm on the water is awesome! I enjoy watching the people I'm fishing with catching fish as much as I do catching them. My biggest/best fish was actually one I never got the chance to land, a 20+" brook trout on a stream in Michigan's U.P. I fought him for a couple of minutes and had him within arms length. I still feel blessed to have witnessed such a unicorn!
