What a great day on the water, couldn't ask for more action! I had the pleasure of taking a father and his daughter Trista out for a 6-hour bottom fishing trip on the Lower Potomac River. We launched from Colonial Beach Boat Ramp in King George, VA for an early summer morning of fishing. The weather was a bit tricky, with partly cloudy skies and some unexpected rain showers, but that didn't dampen our spirits or the fish's appetite. Despite the weatherman's poor forecast, we made the most of our day with Kj's Outdoor Adventures.

With our gear rigged and ready, we set out to explore the salty waters of the Lower Potomac. We employed a mix of bottom fishing, live bait fishing, and trolling techniques to target a variety of species. The fishing was so good that we hardly noticed the occasional sprinkles. Our efforts paid off big time, with a total catch of 84 fish - perfect for a family fish fry! We landed a nice mix including Summer Flounder, White Perch, Croaker, Sand Perch, Spot, and even some Stripers. One of the highlights was catching a keeper Croaker measuring 11.25 inches, which has been tough to find lately. But the real excitement came when Trista had a Striper, easily 20 inches, follow one of her keeper White Perch right up to the boat. That was a sight to see, and I couldn't help but share in her amazement.

Throughout the day, we found that Fishbites Bloodworms in red were the hot ticket for most of our catches. It's always rewarding to see anglers, especially a father-daughter duo, having such success and enjoying their time on the water. Even with the weather not cooperating fully, their positive attitudes and fishing skills made for an incredible day. We wrapped up our trip with smiles all around and a cooler full of fish to show for our efforts.

If you're looking to experience some fantastic bottom fishing on the Lower Potomac River, I'd love to take you out with Kj's Outdoor Adventures. Our 6 Hour Potomac River Saltwater Bottom Fishing Trip is perfect for anglers of all skill levels, whether you're local or visiting the King George area. We'll target a variety of species using proven techniques like bottom fishing, live bait fishing, and trolling. Don't forget to stop by Kimmie Ann Bait and Tackle to pick up some Fishbites Bloodworms - they've been working wonders lately. As the school season is in full swing, my weekend availability is prime time for trips. Whether you're after Summer Flounder, White Perch, Croaker, or hoping to tangle with some Stripers, the Lower Potomac has a lot to offer. To book your own fishing adventure or for more information, feel free to give me a call at 804.761.3131 or visit WWW.KJSOUTDOORADVENTURES.COM. I'm passionate about creating memories and smiles on the water, and I'd be thrilled to share that experience with you on your next fishing trip.
