Background
KJ's Outdoor Adventures Guide Service specializes in Freshwater and Saltwater fishing on the upper and lower Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers. We also guide on beautiful Lake Anna. As a kid my dad would take me fishing at Smallwood State Park in Marbury, MD. My first fish was a Catfish that weight around 5 pounds. I was amazed. I just thank God I am able to do what I do. I love kids and enjoy taking them fishing. I got into tournament bass fishing back in 2003 and have enjoyed ever since then. Have learned a ton of stuff since then and hope to teach my clients as well. I have also lived in Montross, VA where Big Stripers live and also a growing Redfish population. I have fine tuned finding big tasty White Perch, #1 Spot and Croaker. My inspiration comes from my Mom and Dad. RIEP Mom. 30+ years of on the water experience, USCG Licensed and Insured.
Techniques
For saltwater it's hard to beat the good ole high-low bottom rig...I also utilize the drop shot from Freshwater fishing. Topwater is the absolute most exciting way that I catch Stripers during the year. For freshwater I love using SPRO OR River 2 Sea frogs. Explosive Topwater bites thru the many acres of Hydrillla and Eurasion Milfoil. The most dependable technique I have utilized is the weightless senko. It is also very easy for my clients.
