On March 8th Mayor Christi Fraga and the City Council honored Vet Info Inc. and Bass Pro Shops Miami in the Doral Government Center. Vet Info received the Key to the City for their instrumental role in supporting those who have bravely served in the United States Military and their families through Events and Programs. Bass Pro Shops was also honored with a special Proclamation for their many efforts that provide resources to the Veterans to improve quality of life, and for giving back to the community. Both organizations have collaborated regularly with the City of Doral to address the needs of the Veterans and Active Duty Service Members at Southern Command.
When the Founders of Vet Info Created the organization they thought long and hard about who to represent. Numerous larger Veteran Non-Profits focus on 9/11 forward, but Vet Info is proud to focus on all Living Veterans that served from World War II to present day.

Vamos a Pescar Miami took place on September 19, 2021, at Miami Dade’s Tropical Park. Vet Info was asked to volunteer by Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. Eight Volunteers from vet info worked alongside Miami Dade Eco Adventures, Bass Pro Shops, and Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.
During the event, over 70 participants learned to cast, bait their hooks and tie knots. The volunteers supported each fisherman with casting and baiting hooks. Several participants caught fish. Anglers caught bluegill, largemouth bass, peacock bass, and tilapia.
“Big thanks go to Capt. Bill Watts and the Vet Info organization for providing eight shoreline fishing volunteers, along with FWC volunteers Roberto Chiuz and David Finley. FWC Wildlife Officers Washington, Dube, and Rodriguez facilitated quick setup and breakdown, assisted during the activities, and worked the information table throughout. Outreach literature was specifically selected to instruct new anglers and highlight local fishing sites to encourage future fishing. Eric Rivera and Miami-Dade Parks provided the main organization and location for the event, and staff from Miami-Dade’s “Eco Adventures” program provided the casting instruction and additional shoreline assistance.”
