ABOUT US
Like you, we love to fish. But we find something really special about bottom fishing in open waters. The challenge and discovery of the range of exceptional fish, understanding of habits, and pursuit of great table fair...drives our passion.
​
Bottom Bangers is shaped on the vision that when you teach a person to fish, you can help their quality of life, and empower their spiritual journey with Creation, nature, each other, and themselves.
​
We are also passionate about the science of fishing and are always in pursuit of helping advance technology to improve time on the water...without eliminating the essence.
