For over three decades I have been fishing the bays and rivers of South Jersey. From Tuckerton bay south to Great Egg Harbor bay including the Mullica, Egg Harbor and Maurice Rivers and many other waters in South Jersey. I keep my boat on a trailer and go where the fish are. Striped bass on light tackle with plugs has always been a favorite of mine but I enjoy all types of fishing. Whether it's the fat White Perch of Egg Harbor river or the ten pound catfish of the Maurice River it's all good with me. The back bays of Atlantic City and Brigantine are some of my favorite places for Striped Bass, Weakfish and Fluke. Within an hour of my home in Waterford I have had countless miles of water to fish and have spent many of hours exploring it.

My boat is a brand new Sea Chaser, 17ft.6in. with 90hp yamaha motor that allows us to get to places that get less fishing pressure.

I am firm believer in wearing PFD (Personal Floatation Devices). I provide comfortable inflatable PFD's in adult sizes in addition to all required Coast Guard equipment. I recommend children to be at least 12 years old. I will leave that up to the discretion of the parent or guardian that must accompany the child. The child must wear a conventional PFD at all times. The boat is also equipped with a new Garmin 276 color GPS chart plotter, compass, VHF radio, fish finder and cell phone.
