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 Newfield, New Jersey, isn't famous for its smallmouth bass, dedicated anglers can find them in certain areas. The key is to target the faster-flowing sections of the Maurice River and its tributaries that have rocky bottoms and some current. These areas offer the cooler, oxygenated water that smallmouth prefer. Spring and fall are the most productive times, as the fish are more active when water temperatures are moderate. Look for smallmouth around submerged rocks, bridge pilings, and any other structure that breaks the current. Wading the river is a great way to access these areas, but be cautious of slippery rocks and varying water depths. Small crankbaits, tubes, and jerkbaits are effective lures. Remember to check the local regulations regarding size and bag limits. Don't expect trophy-sized smallmouth, but a determined effort can result in some exciting catches. Some local anglers have success using crayfish imitations.
