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
Northern pike fishing near Frenchtown, NJ, centers around the Delaware River and its backwaters. While not as abundant as in some other regions, pike can still be found and targeted. The best time to target these ambush predators is during the cooler months, particularly in the early spring as the water warms up after ice-out, and again in the fall as they prepare for winter. Look for pike in weedy areas, backwater sloughs, and near submerged structure. Large lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jerkbaits are effective, as are dead baits like herring or smelt. A good access point is the boat ramp near the Frenchtown bridge, allowing you to explore the river's edge. Be aware that the Delaware can have strong currents and varying water levels, so exercise caution when navigating. The pike in the Delaware River tend to be on the larger side, so be sure to use heavy tackle and steel leaders to avoid losing fish.
