Casting Hope

Join the Fleet & Family Support Center and MWR at the West Basin Marina on Saturday, June 14 from 2-4 p.m. for a free fishing event in support of suicide prevention awareness.

Enjoy fishing, lawn games and crafts with friends and family, and meet local support providers to learn how connection saves lives.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is offering free fishing days on June 7, June 14 and July 4, 2025 for anyone fishing in tidal waters. During these days, anyone can fish in Maryland without a recreational fishing license. However, all other fishing regulations still apply.

Additionally, the NAS Patuxent River base fishing license requirement has been waived for this event only. For more information about fishing licenses, visit https://www.navymwrpaxriver.com/recreation/fishing-crabbing.
