Welcome to the 1st annual Carolina Carp Cup taking place July 19-22, 2012 on Lake Blalock in Chesnee, SC, brought to you by Wild Carp Companies and USCARPPRO magazine.

 

The Carolina Carp Cup comes with a Carolina pay lake twist. Pegged areas will be placed within closer-than-normal proximity of one another and up to 25 spots will be paid.

 

Lake Blalock is home to Common and Mirror Carp that have been known to grow in excess of 30. No water body record has been officially recorded at Blalock, so one will be established at this event—and the team to do it will earn a bonus cash prize.

 

Due to fallen timber and standing tree trunks, the Lake Blalock will be a real test to its competitors. Be prepared by researching Lake Blalock at the Fishidy website.
