Plot Synopsis

BOTTOM FEEDERS is a reality series that follows three teams of commercial fishermen that catch bottom-feeding fish like carp and suckers, as they battle each other, Mother Nature and their catch. The teams are led by: Tim Adams, a native of Wabasha MN, who also manages the local fish market in town, processing and shipping fish for Schafer's Fish Market; Mike Johnson, a native of Lacrosse Wisconsin, whose brother introduced him to fishing and who also makes ends meet by working odd jobs, like welding, selling scrap metal and harvesting and selling wild ginseng; and Jedd Monsoor, one of the younger guys on the river, who inherited his love for fishing and his business from his father and now runs a big operation.
