    Vets on the move! Where and when?

    Looking to try out a back scratching exercise where we all help each other out in a time of need!
    Toss up where and when you are planning to travel and what your intention are when you get there! Maybe a local veteran sees the post and we can all help each other out in the pursuit of the tug!

    Few things to keep in mind..
    -Lets cater this thread more to the crowd of willing to travel with gear. Minimum rod and reel set up. Not to exclude people without gear but that then becomes more of a guide service when you show up to the ramp empty handed.
    -Only thing in fishing that’s free, is the oxygen you breath once out on the water! The rest adds up so don’t expect hand outs. Standard co-angler courtesy should be followed in regards to fuel consumption compensation. As should
    -If you want garunteed fish, pay for a guide. We are driven by the love of the pursuit and realize we call it fishing and not catching, so sometimes you post a goose egg! Lies and fishing stories after the fact are all on you!
    -If you are reading this now, then remember we are the lucky ones. Not all that served came home and we should always be greatful every time we get to go fishing.. This is now our time to relax and appreciate the great outdoors we all signed up to defend. Please do not ruin that sanctity by being a Dbag.

    Lets see if we can help each other out and feel free to roll call your area if willing to host!

    Anyone coming to Clarksville TN or around Dover and want to fish Kentucky Lake or lake Barkley just ask. I usually put in at Paris or Boswell landing on KY Lake. I fish a lot but catch a little. No cost to you as Im going anyway. This goes for the folks who live locally and want to wet a line. I usually don't fish on weekends as that is the time for the working class to get out and enjoy. I do make exceptions for Saturday but not Sunday. Life is good.

    Also I will be traveling through New Mexico near Carlsbad for a few days around July 27 2018 and then will be Traveling to Dallas, Fort Worth Texas for several weeks in August. Would love to fish there while visiting shore or boat does not make or break a day relaxing.

    Anybody that wants to get out on the north end of Kentucky lake sometime let me know. I’ve got a couple kayaks I take out. The fish have been kicking my a** lately, so don’t expect a 30lb sack. It if you just want to unwind and stretch a line let me know.
