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
While not renowned for its pike population, the Saddle River in New Jersey does hold a modest number of northern pike, offering a unique angling experience in a suburban setting. The river's slow-moving sections and weedy areas provide ideal habitat. Early spring, just after ice-out, and late fall are the prime times to target pike as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, weed beds, and areas where the river widens. A local tip: using large, flashy lures or live bait is often the key to enticing a strike. Also, be prepared for the pike's sharp teeth by using a wire leader. Access to the river can be challenging, with limited public access, so research entry points beforehand. The pike in the Saddle River tend to be on the smaller side, but they still offer a thrilling fight in a relatively accessible location.
