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 Garwood, New Jersey, offers a unique freshwater fishing experience. The Rahway River and its connected waterways provide the primary habitat for these ambush predators. While not known for trophy-sized pike, the area offers consistent action, especially during the cooler months. Spring (post-spawn) and fall are prime times, as pike become more active in search of food before and after the warmer summer period. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, fallen trees, or bridge pilings, as these provide cover for pike to lie in wait. A local tip: try fishing the stretch of the Rahway River accessible from Lenape Park. This area has good bank access and plenty of structure. Also, be aware that water levels in the Rahway can fluctuate quickly after rainfall, impacting fishing conditions. Check local gauges before heading out.
