Steve Raath

Co-founder & Author

Steve is a complete bass fishing maniac. He is constantly looking for creative ways to catch bass, and is always throwing some interesting lures out on the water. Steve has always been fascinated by bass. Whether it's their eating patterns, behavioral changes, or just their moody nature. Every time he fishes, he aims to learn something new about their habits and how he can trick them into planned strategies. He is however a topwater freak, and will always throw at lily pads if he spots any.

Favorite Technique

Weightless D-Shad/Caffeine Shad around shallow cover. Otherwise, I'm throwing topwater (generally frogs) whenever conditions allow me to. I will also always have a fly rod with me!
