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
Chasing Northern Pike near Milford, NJ, requires venturing into the Delaware River and its associated tributaries. While not a renowned pike fishery, the Delaware and the Musconetcong River can offer some decent action. Spring is the peak season, as pike move into shallower, weedy areas to spawn. Look for them in backwater sloughs, near submerged timber, and around bridge pilings. A practical tip: focus your efforts on the Musconetcong River where it enters the Delaware. This area provides varied habitat and can concentrate pike. Large, flashy lures like spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective, as are large shiners fished under a bobber. Pike in this area are generally not huge, but you can find some respectable fish. Be mindful of water levels in the Delaware, as they can fluctuate significantly. Check local regulations regarding size and possession limits before heading out.
