Fishin' with a Mission®
This pre-Thanksgiving vacation is a prime week for peacock bass and is first come first serve. This special trip will be full of prizes, give-aways, and the best fishing and adventure around.
Let's go catch the world record peacock bass - 28 lbs of top water explosion.
FISHIN' WITH A MISSION®
During your trip, you will meet and sponsor a native family with a small micro-enterprise loan. Our goal (with your help and others) is to help 100 families in the Amazon achieve economic self-reliance through simple $150 micro-loans by 2011.
It will change their lives. It will change yours.
You could be part of it. If you and the other 1 million anglers traveling to international fishing destinations every year added a $150 micro-lending mission to your fishig expedition, the $150 million impact would be world-changing - and would help lift 215 million people out of absolute poverty by 2015.
