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.

For rainbow trout near Glen Gardner, NJ, the South Branch Raritan River and its tributaries offer the best opportunities. These streams are regularly stocked by the state, providing consistent fishing throughout the season. Spring and fall are particularly good times to fish, with cooler water temperatures and active trout. The South Branch is a scenic river with a mix of riffles, runs, and pools, offering diverse fishing conditions. A local access tip: the Ken Lockwood Gorge Wildlife Management Area provides ample access to the river, but be prepared for some walking. Anglers commonly use traditional trout tactics such as drifting nymphs, casting small spinners, and swinging wet flies. The rainbows here are primarily stockers, but some holdover fish can reach impressive sizes. Check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for stocking schedules to maximize your chances of success. Remember to practice responsible angling by respecting private property and minimizing your impact on the environment.
