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.

Their imposing presence and the challenge they present make landing a Giant Sea Bass a truly unforgettable angling experience.
Giant Sea Bass Fishing in Cape May
Cape May offers some outstanding opportunities to target Giant Sea Bass, particularly around the numerous artificial reefs and wrecks that dot the offshore waters of the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean. These structures provide crucial habitat for these impressive fish. The best time to target them here is during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures are more favorable. For a successful trip, consider using braided line to feel subtle bites in deeper water and heavy jigs or baited rigs to get down quickly. A local tip: The Cape May Reef and the numerous wrecks further offshore are prime locations, but be prepared for strong currents. Check tide charts and plan your drifts accordingly. Also, remember that Giant Sea Bass are a protected species, so familiarize yourself with current regulations regarding size and possession limits before heading out.
