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 looking for some bronzeback action near Woodland Park, NJ, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Passaic River and its tributaries. While not known as a smallmouth mecca, the Passaic holds a surprising number of quality smallies, especially in the deeper pools and rocky runs. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish are actively feeding before and after the summer heat. Look for areas with current breaks near structure. A key local tip is to access the river via some of the smaller parks along its banks – you'll often find less fishing pressure. Also, be aware that water levels can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rains, so check the river gauge before you go. The smallmouth here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures from crankbaits to tubes can be effective. Don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations to see what they're hitting.
