Kenny's Striper Guide Service on Smith Mountain Lake

Fish with Captain Kenny Short

Kenny has a great passion for striper fishing. Kenny caught his first striper at the age of 13. Since then he has consistently strived to improve his fishing techniques and with the asking, he will share these techniques with you to better your chances at that "Trophy Striper" you are hoping to catch.

While out striper fishing with Kenny, he will assist you in fishing but you will bring the fish to the boat yourself and get the full thrill of each catch.
