Even harder to believe is that I still have a couple spots left for Carp Camp. The nitty gritty: July 11 through 16 on Beaver Island, Michigan. Four and a half days guided fishing and five nights lodging, breakfast and lunch included, along with plenty of swag and freebies. All for just $1499. Here's the deal, I want to keep the guides at Indigo happy, and that means them working putting us on big great lakes carp! So here's my deal for you:

Get a buddy to sign up and book a spot with me at Carp Camp 2013 and I'll cut you $150. Better yet, you and a friend both book a spot and you'll both get $150 knocked off your trips, that's a 10% discount!.

Maybe you need to check out this video to help seal the deal and get you pumped up for sumo carp!

Contact me via the Carp Camp 2013 page or any other method you know how and mention the referral deal. Once your buddy books and pays their deposit, I'll pass along your referral bonus. If both of you participate in the referal plan, I'll just deduct your bonus from the overall cost of the trip.

Sound like a deal? I hope so!

Last Call - Carp Camp 2013

Just recently, a couple of spots have opened back up for Carp Camp 2013, due to a scheduling conflict with some of the guests' prior obligations. Believe me when I say this, I think it was harder for those folks to have to give up their spot at Carp Camp than it was for me to have to put these spots back up for sale.

Their loss is your gain. As easy as it would have been to give these spots over to some good 'ol boys behind the scenes and have the trip immediately booked up full again, that is counter to what Carp Camp is all about. I am going to do what's fair and put these spots back up for sale to the general public, specifically the viewers and fans of the Roughfish Nation. I don't want Carp Camp 2013 to be filled up with a bunch of pros. While that would be fun in its own right, I want to give the average angler a shot at the big time and see what it's like to fish to monster trophy carp, and see what it's like to "live the life" for a week. So all you folks out there will get first pick at one of these coveted spots. I can guarantee you that these remaining spots will book up quick, so act fast!

Carp Camp 2013
Just in case you are on the fence and not quite sure what all entails the camper at Carp Camp, here are a few of the details:


Carp Camp 2013 runs from July 11th through 16th, 2013, on Beaver Island, Michigan.
Camp barbeque provided by your host and guides on the evening of your arrival.
