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 renowned for smallmouth bass, the Passaic River near Lincoln Park provides a decent, and often overlooked, fishery. Focus your efforts on the deeper pools and rocky areas, especially where tributaries enter the main river. Early morning and late evening are generally the best times to fish, especially during the warmer months. Smallmouth here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures can be effective. Crawfish imitations, tubes, and small crankbaits are all good choices. Public access is available at several parks along the river, but be aware of the often-muddy banks. The smallmouth in this section of the Passaic aren't trophy-sized, but you can find some respectable fish in the 1-3 pound range. Keep an eye out for changing water levels, as the river can rise quickly after heavy rains.
