I fish there all the time. Im not retired/active military. I have no problem getting on base.

Chris L · 09-14-2012, 08:18 PM

Yeah whats up with that? They just let anyone on base here?

txfam6 · 09-14-2012, 08:58 PM

yeah they do let anyone on base and its usually the people that are not active or retired that leave trash everywhere and eventually those places close down. I have seen it first hand and have talked to those people and all I get is a shoulder turn and they keep on trucking. They are also the same ones that keep undersized or oversized fish.

When I was a kid (70/80s) you could fish anywhere on NAS including the survival pier 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Used to catch fish right under the bow of the Lexington. Not sure why things changed.

Don't make sense. Let anybody on the base....but you can't fish within 500 feet of the shoreline in a boat.

They dont just let anyone on base, the loophole is the museum. A lot of civilian anglers that get on base to fish just tell the gate guard theyre going to the museum then go fishing instead.

That is a loop hole that should change I just cant stand people that dont follow rules especially on a military base. Thats why I stick to my area around work, but when I see anyone around there during working hours you can bet that we will make them leave or call the cops out there if they dont listen to us. We mainly do that when we have students in the water and the idiots still want to fish near the area where we are conducting training.

Most of those bouys are not there since the storm and they are taking advantage of it believe me.

How is the fishing like on base during the cold season? What fishes bite and what is the preferred bait?

Ive been fishing the base since I was old enought to drive. Probably for about 15 years. Born and raised in Pensacola. So I guess civilians are the only ones who litter and keep under/over sized fish. Thats funny
