Looking forward to getting more and more veterans on the water. There's no magic pill to help erase the memories and horrors of war but we've found peace on the water and want to introduce you to a sport we are so passionate about
Please contact either of us.

Thank you so very much for helping my brothers in need. A relaxing day on the lake can sure turn things around for a little while or forever.

Bump to get Veterans on the water. We're 2 wounded and PTSD suffering Veterans who have found peace on the water and wanting to share our experiences and passion with other veterans

Good stuff right here guys, and thank you for offering this. PTSD is a battle, and some people do better than others in dealing with it. But I know when I am on the water, I am at a calm that I don't get to experience anywhere else in life. Fishing makes you focus on everything around your physical being, instead of what is going on in your mental/emotional being.

I'm a Nam vet and one of the lucky ones without PTSD problems. A lot of the younger guys with PTSD don't want to ask for help even if it's just a fishing trip. You might try calling the nearest VA hospital. I think they have a VA clinic in Tyler. They might be able to send someone your way. Vets if you have problems take these guys up on their offer. It will help. Thanks Hookset Brothers for what you are doing.

Adam and Martin are great guys. I got to fish with them and a wounded Vet last week. Great experience. Both these guys are very passionate about their cause and I'm truly glad to call them my friends. Great job guys!
