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.

Beverly, New Jersey, offers some excellent channel catfish opportunities in the Delaware River and its tributaries. The Delaware is a classic catfish river, with plenty of deep holes, submerged structure, and current breaks that catfish favor. Summer nights are particularly productive, as catfish become more active under the cover of darkness. Try fishing with cut bait, chicken livers, or prepared catfish baits near the bottom in areas with moderate current. A good access point is the Beverly City Marina, which provides easy access to the Delaware. Be mindful of the tides and currents, as they can be strong. Also, be prepared for the occasional flathead catfish, which also inhabit these waters and can reach impressive sizes.
