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.

Crappie

Crappie fishing in the North Arlington, NJ area can be rewarding if you know where to look. While the Passaic River isn't typically the first place anglers think of for crappie, the backwaters and connected ponds can hold some surprisingly good fish. Spring is the prime time, as the crappie move into shallow, protected areas to spawn. Focus your efforts around submerged structure like fallen trees, docks, and brush piles. Belleville Park, a short drive south, has a pond that is locally known to hold crappie. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits, fished under a bobber or slow-retrieved. Early morning and late afternoon are typically the most productive times. One local tip is to use a crappie nibble or scent attractant to increase your chances of getting a bite, especially in murky water conditions. Be sure to check the New Jersey fishing regulations for size and creel limits before you head out.
