Bass season is coming, especially in the north. I remember some good spots at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO but I'm wondering what other posts offer solid fishing. This will be helpful for fishermen/women PCS'ing, going to school, or doing DTY. Post pictures if you have them!

Fort Drum offers outstanding Bass fishing on post, excellent Muskie fishing on the nearby St. Lawrence Seaway and world class Salmon and Steelhead fishing in Lake Ontario and the Salmon River just to the south.

There's no base nearby but the best bass fishing in the world is on the St. Johns river in Palatka, Florida (some call it east Palatka). Enjoy!!

My brother says it's worth fighting off the gators to fish Ft Stewart.

I fished for the Bass in Ft. Stewart in 1980 and 81, it was very common to pull a 7-9 pound'er out daily. I fished everyday I was there. Best Bass fishing spot around those neck of the woods.

The lake bass at Ft Stewart are usually pretty hungry and good for a quick strike - haven't pulled anything of great size out yet but my fishin' is usually pretty low keyed and just enjoying the solitude of the back woods of Ft Stewart. I have found the mosquitos more bothersome than the gators though.

Took Basic there in 65-66. D-1-5 at North Fort. Tigerland was in full gear and even though I did my AIT at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, I never once saw a pool of water that fish lived in. Camp Roberts in CA. offered great Trout and Catfish but the Bass were at what was HLMR at that time and now is Fort Hunter Ligget, CA. There were some monsters in some of the ponds, easily over 10+ pounds. As for today, couldn't say, that was from 9/68 to 6/70.
