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 Northfield, New Jersey, requires venturing to specific locations known for this apex predator. While not abundant, the Great Egg Harbor River and its backwaters, and some of the larger lakes further inland towards the Pinelands, can hold pike. These fish prefer weedy areas and ambush points, so focus your efforts around submerged vegetation, fallen timber, and creek mouths. Spring and early fall are the most productive times, as pike become more active in cooler water temperatures. Large swimbaits, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are effective lures. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. Access to the Great Egg Harbor River is available via several public boat ramps. Be mindful of the tides, as they can significantly impact water levels and pike activity. Pike in this region can reach impressive sizes, offering a thrilling challenge for anglers prepared to target them specifically.
