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.

Smallmouth Bass

Various

Smallmouth Bass fishing near Collingswood, New Jersey, requires venturing a bit beyond the immediate town limits, but the rewards are worth the effort. Focus your attention on the tidal portions of the Delaware River or its tributaries like the Schuylkill River in Pennsylvania. These areas offer the rocky structure and current breaks that smallmouth bass prefer. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass are actively feeding before and after the summer heat. A good starting point is the area around the I-95 bridge on the Delaware, where you can access the river from several boat ramps. Try casting crankbaits or jigs around the pilings and rocky shorelines. Pay attention to the tide – smallmouth activity often peaks during periods of moving water. Be aware of the strong currents and boat traffic on the Delaware River.
