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
If you're after Smallmouth Bass near South Bound Brook, NJ, the Raritan River is your primary destination. This section of the Raritan offers rocky bottoms, riffles, and deeper pools that provide ideal habitat for smallmouth. Focus your efforts on areas with current breaks, submerged rocks, and fallen trees. Late spring through early fall is the most productive period. Smallmouth bass are aggressive predators, so lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and tube jigs are effective. Fly fishing with streamers and nymphs can also be very productive. A local tip: Wading the Raritan River near the Weston Canal can be productive, but be cautious of slippery rocks and changing water levels. Public access is available at several points along the river. The smallmouth in the Raritan are known for their fighting spirit, often putting up a strong battle for their size.
