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.

If you're chasing brown trout in northern New Jersey, consider a trip to the streams near Franklin Lakes. The Ramapo River, and its tributaries offer some of the best brown trout fishing in the area. These are classic freestone streams, so look for fish holding in deeper pools, behind boulders, and along undercut banks. Spring and fall are prime times, with the cooler water temperatures bringing the browns out to feed. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times of day. Access can be a bit tricky, as much of the land is private, but there are some public access points along the Ramapo. Be sure to check local regulations regarding fishing licenses and permitted areas. The browns here aren't huge, with most averaging 10-14 inches, but they are wild and beautiful fish. Wading can be challenging due to slippery rocks, so felt-soled boots or wading staffs are highly recommended.
