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 targeting Rainbow Trout near Spring Lake Heights, your best bet is to explore the trout-stocked streams a short drive inland. While Spring Lake itself is a saltwater gem, the nearby Manasquan River and its tributaries receive regular stockings of rainbows, especially in the spring and fall. These stocked rainbows provide excellent opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. Look for areas with riffles and pools, and try using small spinners, spoons, or natural baits like worms or corn. A local tip is to check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's stocking schedule online to see when and where the most recent stockings have occurred. Rainbows are generally eager to bite after being stocked, but they can become more selective as they acclimate to their new environment. Remember to have your valid New Jersey fishing license and trout stamp.
