Bio: Born and raised in New Jersey, I developed a passion for fishing as a young child. I remember fishing with my father on my uncle's 13ft. whaler. I was 6 or 7 years old and we were fishing in Barnegat Bay for winter flounder. Boy was it cold... but oh so much fun! Now with over 40 years of local fishing experience I do everything possible to create a great fishing trip. No Experience Necessary. My professional approach is that I am always willing to teach a guest how to improve their angling skills. Whether educating children or beginners I am always patient and courteous. However, when guiding hard-core anglers, I understand that catching fish is job one and will do everything possible to locate the feeding fish. Believe me, I want to catch fish too! In addition to great fun, most of the fish we catch are also great eating. Of course, I suggest you only keep what you can eat.
