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.

Targeting Northern Pike around Bloomingdale, NJ? Your best bet is to explore the Monksville Reservoir. This reservoir provides ideal habitat for pike, with plenty of submerged structure and weed beds. Early spring, right after ice-out, is a fantastic time to target these predators as they move into shallower waters to spawn. Fall is also a great time, as the pike feed aggressively before winter. For success, try using large swimbaits or crankbaits, retrieving them slowly near weed lines and submerged timber. Pike in Monksville can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a battle. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. A local tip: the northern end of the reservoir, near the Wanaque River inlet, often holds a good concentration of pike. Boat access is available, but be aware of any horsepower restrictions or permit requirements.
