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.

Northern Pike
Targeting northern pike in Brigantine, NJ, is an unconventional, but potentially rewarding, pursuit. While not abundant, pike can be found in some of the freshwater-influenced backwaters and creeks that feed into the bay. Spring (March-April) is prime time as the pike become active after the winter months. Focus on areas with dense vegetation, as pike are ambush predators. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. A local tip is to try fishing after a period of heavy rain, as the increased freshwater inflow can draw pike into these areas. Access can be challenging, so a kayak or small boat is recommended. Be prepared for the possibility of encountering striped bass or other saltwater species as well. Pike in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but the chance of landing one in this unique environment makes it a worthwhile endeavor.
