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

If you're looking to tangle with some crappie in central New Jersey, Rocky Hill offers a few promising options. The D&R Canal State Park, which parallels the Millstone River, is a good starting point. This canal offers calm, relatively shallow waters ideal for crappie fishing. Focus your efforts around submerged structure like fallen trees, bridge pilings, and weed beds – crappie love to congregate in these areas. Spring and fall are the prime times; the fish move into shallower water to spawn in the spring and fatten up before winter in the fall. A small jig tipped with a minnow or a crappie nibble is a deadly presentation. Access is easy along the canal towpath, providing ample bank fishing opportunities. Be aware that the canal can get weedy during the summer months, so adjust your presentation accordingly. Early mornings and late afternoons often produce the best results, especially during the warmer months. Remember to check the current fishing regulations for size and creel limits before heading out.
