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 Penns Grove, NJ, means focusing on the Delaware River and its connected waterways. While not as abundant as in some other regions, pike can be found in weedy backwaters, creek mouths, and areas with submerged timber. These ambush predators thrive in these environments. Early spring, just after ice-out (if applicable), and late fall, as water temperatures cool, are the most productive times. Look for pike in the Salem River and other tidal creeks that feed into the Delaware. These areas often have dense vegetation that provides cover. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Consider using a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Be aware of the tidal influence, as pike will often move with the tide to find baitfish. A local tip: Focus on areas where creeks enter the river, as these spots often concentrate baitfish and attract pike. Patience is key, as pike fishing can be hit-or-miss, but the reward of landing a large pike is well worth the effort.
