Summer Camp Details

Held on the beautiful Murray State University campus with daily activities on the shores of Kentucky Lake – the South’s Great Lake, this is one camp you don’t want to miss. Students receive instruction from top professionals and industry executives to take their fishing and fishing career readiness to the next level. 

Adults have the option to drop off their students or stay throughout the camp and participate in special panel discussions aimed at identifying best practices to give your High School Fishing team the edge it needs to thrive. 

One lucky camper will even be selected to fish with a Bass Pro Tour or Tackle Warehouse Invitational pro. 

Meet some your favorite MLF pros! Here’s a look at the participating pros from past camps. The 2023 lineup of pro anglers attending will be announced once secured.

2023 MLF Camp Pros: Jacob Wall, Keith Poche, Brandon Coulter, Fletcher Shryock, Mark Rose, Terry Bolton, and Brandon Hunter
