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 Glen Gardner, NJ, presents a unique challenge and opportunity. While not as abundant as in some northern states, pike are present in Spruce Run Reservoir and a few other select water bodies in the area. Anglers typically target them as a bonus while fishing for other species, but dedicated pike anglers can find success. Spring, just after ice-out, and fall, as water temperatures cool, are the most productive times to target pike. Look for them in weedy bays and near submerged timber. A key local tip is to use a wire leader, as pike have very sharp teeth. Large swimbaits, crankbaits, and spoons are effective lures. Also, be prepared for the possibility of catching a muskie, as they are also present in Spruce Run. The pike population here is relatively modest, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
