It is everyone's responsibility to ensure that Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Natural Resources remain in good order for the next recreational fisherman to enjoy.
Always pick-up litter and deposit it in an approved trash receptacle.
Never spade or dig bait along shoreline that can lead to soil erosion.
Only use rowboats, canoes, or boats powered by electric trolling motors within the Base Ponds, to decrease the effect of pollution in the fresh water Base ponds.
A full line of fishing equipment is available for purchase from the Hadnot Point Exchange Annex (full variety), New River Exchange, Onslow Beach Exchange, Camp Johnson Exchange, and the Gottschalk or Courthouse Bay Marinas.
