Mission: Heroes Bass Fishing Derby - Union Lake

This is a boat event for our Nation's Heroes.

Volunteer boaters will be paired with Veterans/active duty members of the Armed Forces and first responders for a FREE day of fishing on the water.If a Veteran/active duty member of the Armed Forces or a first responder has their own boat or a friend/family member that will take them out in one, they are welcome to do so. If not, we will team up each Hero with someone with a boat. So if you have a boat and would like to volunteer your time and boat to take a Hero out for a day of fishing, we welcome you to join us.

Heroes do NOT need a fishing license. NJ Fish & Wildlife generously waived the license requirement for WnW events. All others must have a current NJ fishing license in possession.
