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
While not a renowned smallmouth bass destination, Jamesburg, NJ, offers some surprisingly good opportunities for bronzeback enthusiasts. The key is targeting the Millstone River and its tributaries. These waterways, though often overlooked, hold a decent population of smallmouth, especially in areas with rocky bottoms, submerged wood, and current breaks. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass become more active with the cooler water temperatures. During the summer, focus on early mornings or late evenings to beat the heat. A good access point is along the D&R Canal State Park, where you can wade fish or launch a small kayak. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate, especially after heavy rainfall, so check conditions before heading out. Local anglers find success using crankbaits and tube jigs in crawfish patterns, mimicking the smallmouth's natural forage. Don't be afraid to downsize your presentation, as the fish here can be a bit finicky.
