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

freshwater

For slab-sized crappie near North Caldwell, NJ, focus your attention on local ponds and reservoirs like Verona Park Lake or even some of the smaller, lesser-known bodies of water tucked away in the surrounding areas. These smaller waters often hold surprisingly good populations of crappie, especially around submerged structure like fallen trees, docks, and weed beds. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as crappie move into shallower water to spawn in the spring and feed heavily before winter. A key tip for local crappie fishing: use a small jig under a bobber, especially around structure. Vary your depth until you find where the fish are holding. The crappie in these waters can be a bit finicky, so experiment with different jig colors and presentations. Also, be mindful of water clarity; if the water is clear, downsize your line and use more natural-colored baits. Many areas are easily accessible from shore, making it a great option for anglers without a boat.
