Bassin for the Brave

Hi my name is Billy Tompkins aka BassinBilly. I am an Air Force veteran of 8 years and then as a civilian I went and supported the Army for 8 years in Iraq and Afghanistan. I understand the importance of our veterans and always look for ways to express my gratitude for their sacrifices. I will be hosting bassin for the Brave this year on Falcon Lake. The event is for US Veterans and anyone with a boat that would like to take a veteran fishing. I will be offering my units at Falcon Lake for lodging (Vets get priority) and any over flow I have a special rate worked out with some of the hotels in the area.

The dates of this event will be the November 16th, 17th and 18th.
Food will be provided on saturday. (Need a volunteer for the grill master)

Businesses if you are interested in supporting this event in anyway please feel free to contact us.

I currently have 4 boaters, but would love more. This event has always been a success for all involved.

I have asked another Veteran Lupe Lopez to assist me with the planning and coordinating of the event so don�t hesitate to reach out to him for any assistance as well.

we now 9 boaters committed
a grill master

Billy shoot me a text tomorrow. New phone don�t have your latest number.

>>>> this is a great event for our Veterans <<<<<
the fishing, the food, the stories makes for a great weekend for all
My son is flying all the way back here from Seattle Washington to fish with Billy on Falcon.
He is an ARMY vet that spent a 15 month tour in Iraq and loves to fish Falcon with Billy
Billy T is the reason I think I can fish ,,,,, he can put you on some really good fish on Falcon.

No tournament fee, no pressure �. just good hard fishing for bragging rights and the chance to thank our VETS and have a good time.
if your a VET or want to support our VETS ,,,,,, make arrangements to be in Zapata and fish Falcon Nov 16-17-18.

Billy has been pretty busy lately and has asked me to help out with this event... if you have any questions I can try and answer them to the best of my ability.... just shoot me a message.

Billy,
Thanks for doing this every year. Thanks for all teaching and fish you put me and the wife on.

That�s awesome, Raul.

Sounds like a great event.

What�s the time line of all this? I will be there for some of this at least. Maybe as a boater. I�ve been building a boat and will be testing it out this weekend. If it�s not trustworthy then I�d like to back seat if someone has room.

Billy doesn�t have a list of boaters and non boaters. Do have any type list ?

>>> we have 2 boats going down with room for 2 vets <<<<
so let's start a list on here:
Flukeman83-- 2 boats 2 vet spots

I am Viet Nam vet----have boat and trailer on lake but have confined myself to Tigre Island area, would be interested in seeing more of lake if someone can guide PLUS also carry another veteran

I'm one of the boats headed down with Flukeman. Can't wait, should be fun!

Thanks Billy for getting this going.
