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 in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, is a classic pastime, particularly in the back bays and channels. These flatfish are a favorite target for anglers of all skill levels. The key to success is understanding their feeding habits – they are bottom feeders that prefer sandy or muddy bottoms. The best time to target flounder in Stone Harbor is during the spring and early summer months when the water temperatures start to warm up. Try using small hooks baited with sandworms, clams, or squid. Drifting is a popular technique, allowing you to cover more ground and locate feeding fish. A local tip: the channels around the Stone Harbor Boulevard bridge can be productive, especially during incoming tides. Also, pay attention to water clarity, as flounder prefer clear water. While the flounder population has fluctuated in recent years, careful fishing practices and responsible harvesting can help ensure a healthy fishery for years to come.
