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

freshwater

Targeting northern pike near Ramsey, NJ, requires exploring the larger freshwater bodies in the region. While not abundant, pike can be found in the Oradell Reservoir and some of the larger lakes further north and west. Early spring, just after ice-out, and late fall, as water temperatures drop, are prime times to target these ambush predators. Look for weedy areas, shallow bays, and drop-offs. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Live bait, such as shiners, can also be very productive. Access to the Oradell Reservoir can be limited, so research public access points and any permit requirements. The pike population in this area is not heavily managed, so catch and release is encouraged to help maintain the fishery. Be prepared for the possibility of catching larger fish, as some pike in these waters can reach impressive sizes. Always use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs from their sharp teeth.
