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 South Bound Brook, NJ, requires a strategic approach. The slow-moving sections of the Raritan River and the Delaware and Raritan Canal are your best bets. Pike are ambush predators, so look for areas with heavy cover like weed beds, fallen trees, and overhanging vegetation. Spring and early fall are typically the most productive times. In the spring, pike move into shallow, weedy areas to spawn. In the fall, they're actively feeding to prepare for winter. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Don't be afraid to use a wire leader, as pike have sharp teeth. A local fishing tip: The stretch of the D&R Canal near Blackwells Mills is known to hold some decent-sized pike. Public access to the canal is readily available. Be mindful of the current, especially after heavy rains. Pike in this area aren't as common as other species, but when you hook one, be prepared for a fight.
