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 near East Newark? The Passaic River presents a unique opportunity for these ambush predators. While not known as a pike hotspot, the Passaic does hold a population of these fish, offering a challenging and rewarding experience. Early spring, just after ice-out (if any), and late fall, as the water cools, are the most productive times to fish for pike. They tend to be concentrated around weed beds and submerged structure where they can lie in wait for prey. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Don't be afraid to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Access can be tricky, but exploring the riverbanks near Harrison and Newark might reveal some fishable spots. Remember to check local fishing regulations for size and bag limits, as these can vary. Pike in the Passaic River are known to be aggressive fighters, but their numbers are not high, so handle them with care if you plan to release them.
