The Fishing Detective Guide Agency
The Fishing Detective Guide Agency is located in Marbury and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.
Capt. Kenneth will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4-hour trips, mainly fishing for Snakehead and Bass, depending on the season and conditions on the day. Snakehead Trips are very popular on the Potomac and the Potomac is the best Northern Snakehead fishery in the world.
The Potomac trips will have varying start times as well as launch locations. It is necessary to communicate with the captain so that these times/locations can be discussed.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 21' Ranger boat that can safely take up to 2 anglers. All rods, reels and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. The Fishing Detective is partnered with Simms, Yeti, Quantum, Seaguar, Kuiu, Fishing Complete Inc, TH Marine, Vortex Optics, Woo Tungsten, Ardent Outdoors, Bigmouth Lures.
Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The Fishing Detective Guide Agency offers only catch and release trips, so any fish you catch will be returned to the water. The captain can't guarantee fish but he can guarantee that he will work as hard as possible. Capt. Kenneth fishes over 160 days a year to do his best to make memories with his guests. You'll be fishing with artificial lures so a big part of success will be down to your skill. Whatever the skill level, Capt. Kenneth believes that a guest will walk away knowing more about fishing than when he arrived.

Ryan PullenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAnother great trip with Ken!
Half Day Trip – Potomac Bass on August 24, 2026 • 2 adultsAnother fantastic trip with Ken! Couldn’d ask for a more experienced and accommodating guide! As a repeat customer each trip leaves me wanting more and the anticipation of getting the next Bass. To anyone thinking about booking Ken, if you are an experienced angler or have never held a rod before, Ken will accomdate and make the experience one of a kind. the effort Ken puts in to put you in the best spots at the best times even when conditions are tricky is what you are paying for! to Ken - thank you again for your continued hospitality, expertise and guidance. Couldn’t ask for more from a guide - I will be joining you again, next time im in the DC area!
Jon BerlinRepeat angler5.0Verified2d Trip as fun as the first!
Half Day Trip – Potomac Snakehead on June 15, 2026 • 2 adultsOur second trip with Captain Ken in June was as enjoyable as our first in May. We fished hollow frog lures for four hours in the morning. We caught a dozen bass and missed several more. We had hoped to catch snakeheads, but only saw three. Ken was again a great coach, helping my 13-year-old grandson the entire time. I will again recommend him to anyone wanting to do some serious fishing in the tidal Potomac. i will add that he is very quick to respond to email questions, which helps greatly in planning the trip.
Joe Yanci5.0VerifiedNewGreat trip!
Half Day Trip – Potomac Bass on October 23, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Ken did a great job of going with the flow. Very communicative before the trip and communicated well to set expectations. We caught fish and he dealt with snags in the line and unexpected weather with a great attitude. Would recommend to others and would go again as well.
Bethany SachsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedKen is the best! Book the trip, you won’t regret it!
Single angler half day special on June 12, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had such a great morning on the water with Ken. He treated us so well. He was on time, had everything ready to go and graciously helped us out every time we got line caught or lost a lure. He took extra time to teach us and help us. We saw a beaver, raccoon, deer and a ton of birds. It was a beautiful morning in nature and Ken took care of everything so we could just sit back and enjoy. Highly Recommend!
Christopher ZhenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest Experience on the Potomac
Full day Potomac bass/snakehead on May 31, 2026 • 2 adultsKen is the best guide in the area for tidal Potomac bass and snakehead, especially for more seasoned anglers that can maximize cast accuracy. He spends more time on this water than anyone, will work extra hard to get you on fish, and wont sell you on any expectations that he can’t deliver on. On top of that, he is great to have conversations with. He’s got a loyal client in me!
Jamaal Bailey5.0VerifiedGreat day on the water!
Half Day Trip – Potomac Bass on July 8, 2026 • 2 adultsToday was my son’s 22nd birthday and he wanted to go fishing. We had a great time and we caught bass and snakehead fish. Ken was knowledgeable of the area, very friendly and knew a lot about fishing. I personally haven’t fished in a long time and Ken was very patient and helpful. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this fishing experience.

Absolutely phenomenal!!
Single angler half day special on April 22, 2026 • 2 adultsI booked this trip as a birthday gift for my husband. He is a 100% disabled veteran. He and my daughter had the best time. Ken was a fantastic captain and angler!! He was very knowledgeable and just an all around good person. The communication about this trip was also wonderful. I couldn’t have picked a better gift. And definitely couldn’t have picked a better boat captain!! Thank you Ken!!!
