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.

Flounder fishing around Beach Haven can be a rewarding experience, particularly in the back bays and around structure. These flatfish are ambush predators, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the best times to target them. Focus your efforts around docks, bridges, and channel edges where they can find shelter and food. Drifting with a fluke or minnow on a jig head is a popular and effective technique. A key local tip is to use a slow, deliberate retrieve and be patient, as Flounder often have a subtle bite. The Great Bay Boulevard is a popular access point for back bay fishing. Flounder in this area are known for their quality, and some impressive doormats are caught each year. Be sure to check the current regulations for size and bag limits before heading out.
