I guide the Southern New Jersey
waters from Atlantic City to Cape May with great fishing just minutes from
the dock so none of your valuable fishing time is lost traveling. Striped
Bass season runs from April through November, but it does have its variations.
Spring offers great daytime fishing and some of the best water clarity of
the season with good size fish in great numbers. April and May are your
first opportunities to log your first keeper bass of the year on fly with
early May also kicking off terrific sight fishing opportunities. During
the spring it is not uncommon to run into large Weakfish and Bluefish on
these same flats offering some exciting bi-catch fun. |

June,
July and August offers anglers
a wide variety of methods to choose from Sight fishing and top water fishing
remains consistent during the daytime on the shallow water flats with sunrise
and sunset offering anglers their best shots at the largest fish. Mid summer
also offers some unbelievable night fishing. With boat traffic almost nonexistent,
the Striper fishing often becomes fast and furious with fish averaging 5
to 20.lbs caught in as little as 10 inches of water .I do recommend practicing
your casts during night time hours prior to the trip |

September,
October, and November During the fall migration, large schools
of Bass are on the tear throughout the backcountry and flats with reckless
abandon offering exciting top water action and truly world class sight fishing
opportunities that will make even the most avid angler weak at the knees.
With the best water clarity of the season; Daytime, nighttime, sunrise,
or sunset the fishing is red hot. This is peak season and advanced booking
are highly suggested. Trust me on that |

December
my attention goes south for the winter to the lower Florida Keys were I
continue guiding full time. Though it is not peak season there is more than
enough action to be found in the keys during the winter,for even the most
demanding angler, and half the amount of boats. I focus solely on sight
fishing for, Tarpon, Bonefish, and Permit, on both the Atlantic and Gulf
side flats from Big Pine Key south to Key West. This service runs from January
15 - April 15. Lodging recommendations available. |

Specialized
trips are focused around peak migration times in the lower
Florida Keys. May and June the much-heralded Tarpon migration is in full
swing. Southbound fish steamroll from Miami to Key West while others move
from the Gulf northward up the coast. Besides the giants pushing and exceeding
the 100.lb mark, juveniles- from one foot " kinglets" to 50.lb
teenagers will provide great action in the deep secluded backcountry. This
time of the season also offers great Bonefish action also as well as Permit
start to make an appearance. July and August offers peak time for sight
casting Bonefish and Juvenile Tarpon on the flats both on the Atlantic and
Gulf side Backcountry flats |
