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.

Targeting Northern Pike near Little Ferry, NJ, requires a bit of exploration, but the rewards can be worthwhile. The Hackensack River, particularly in its wider, more slow-moving sections and connected backwaters, holds a population of pike. While not abundant, they are present and can offer exciting action. Spring, just after ice-out (if applicable), and fall are the best times to target pike, as they become more active in cooler water. Look for areas with submerged vegetation, weed beds, and fallen timber, as these provide ambush points for these predatory fish. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Live bait, such as shiners or suckers, can also be productive. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent pike from biting through your line. Losen Slote Creek Park can provide access to some of these areas, but exploring further upstream and downstream can yield better results. Be prepared for some dense vegetation and potentially challenging access.
