ABOUT ME

 

I'm a licensed USCG captain fishing the waters of Cape Cod to the Chesapeake Bay for saltwater species on the fly and light tackle.  I have been fishing for over 30 years in both salt and freshwater. My home waters are the coast and back bays of NJ where I spend most of my time during peak seasons. I target striped bass, false albacore, blue fish, weakfish, and palegics. I also follow the migration of striped bass & false albacore from the Chesapeake Bay, Long Island NY, Connecticut, Rhode Island, & to Cape Cod. My love of fly fishing started with trout in North West NJ and North Eastern PA streams before I focused on saltwater Species 20 years ago. I still enjoy the dry fly fishing for trout on the West & East branch of the DE river. Over the Winter months my focus goes towards chrome in the great Lake tributaries. My fly tying passion is utilized on all the fresh and saltwater species I fish for.
