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.

If you're looking to tangle with some northern pike near Glen Ridge, NJ, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Passaic River. This river, while sometimes overlooked, holds a surprisingly healthy population of pike, especially in the deeper pools and backwaters. Spring, right after ice-out, and fall, as the water cools, are prime times to target these predators. They'll be actively feeding to build up energy reserves. For bank access, try exploring the areas around local parks and bridges, but be mindful of private property. A practical tip is to use large, flashy lures or live baitfish to attract their attention in the often murky waters of the Passaic. Pike in this area can be aggressive, so be prepared for a good fight! Don't forget your steel leader to prevent bite-offs.
