◆ About Your Guide

From the Stage
to the Shore

I'm Jeff Steele, and for over 30 years I've been balancing two passions: country music and Lake Fork bass. While my time on the road has slowed down, my time on the water is as active as ever.

Since 1992, I've been a premier choice for anglers at the Minnow Bucket Marina. I spent years touring with greats like Janie Fricke and Moe Bandy, but these days you're more likely to find me hunting trophy Florida-strain largemouth.

I'd love to share the water — and a few stories — with you.
