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.

If you're after northern pike near Woodstown, NJ, your best bet is to focus on the Salem River and its associated waterways. While not a renowned pike fishery, patient anglers can find success. Target areas with submerged vegetation, fallen timber, and slower-moving sections of the river. Spring, just after the ice melts (if any), and fall are prime times, as pike become more active in cooler water temperatures. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lure choices. Using a wire leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. Access to the Salem River can be found at various public boat launches and fishing access points. Be mindful of the tides, as the Salem River is tidally influenced. Pike in this region can be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lures and presentations.
