About ME
My name is Zach Ploeger. My passion is bass fishing. I grew up in Iowa and Texas and have been living out here in California for the past 10 years. I have 5 years of guiding experience and over 20 years of fishing/boating experience. My life's purpose is teaching fishermen how to target trophy bass on some of the most pressured fisheries in the country. My goal is to teach my approach to finding and catching trophy bass regardless of time of year. I specialize on Clear Lake California's Big Bass Factory. My goal is to make your day on the water the most memorable experience possible, and a day you will never forget.
