Point Pleasant, New Jersey

I am a lifelong resident of Ocean County, New Jersey and have been a professional fishing guide for the past ten years. I have been an intense and avid salt-water fisherman for over thirty years. Both of my boats are especially well suited for fly-fishing. In our local waters we are able to catch large striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, fluke, albacore, bonita, spanish mackerel, and a variety of different tuna. As your charter-fishing guide I will also tailor fit our itinerary to target any specific salt-water species that are within our range and season if you desire. Whether it is live-lining bait or enticing them with a custom tied fly, I well do what it takes to put us on the bite. I would enjoy and welcome the opportunity to make your day an enjoyable experience and pleasantly memorable one fishing the rivers, bays and ocean as your personal salt-water fishing guide.

Brown Trout

While Avon-by-the-Sea is a coastal town, dedicated anglers can find brown trout within a reasonable drive. The key is to head west and north towards the Pequest River or the Musconetcong River, both known trout streams in New Jersey. These rivers, while not immediately adjacent to Avon-by-the-Sea, offer the best opportunities for brown trout in the region. Spring and fall are ideal times to target brown trout, especially during and after periods of rainfall when the fish are more active. Use classic trout techniques such as fly fishing with nymphs or dry flies, or spin fishing with small spinners or spoons. A local tip: pay attention to water temperature and clarity, as these factors can greatly influence trout behavior. Brown trout in these rivers can be wary, so use stealth and make accurate casts. Many sections of these rivers are stocked, but some hold wild populations of brown trout as well, offering a chance at a truly memorable catch. Be sure to check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife website for stocking schedules and regulations.
