About Me
Growing up on the southern New Jersey coast, I have been an avid angler all my life.
By the age of 15, I was supplying local bait shops with fresh and live bait and I continue to do so today. My time on the water and my knowledge of bait and feeding patterns has paid off in competition and has earned me the nickname “Fish Whisperer” among the local surf and jetty anglers. I was introduced to kayak fishing when my local dealer explained how much the kayak would improve my days out on the water. I have found a unique camaraderie among kayakers and kayak tournament anglers. These days, I fish the NJ sod banks, jetties and the open ocean from Stone Harbor to Cape May approx 3 days a week from my '09 Hobie Outback I named “My Island”. I also fish as many tournaments as I can from Jax to Salem and all points between! In 2008/2009 I fished on the Hobie Fishing Team and Sterling Harbor Kayak Fishing Team. For me, this was a great time. Thank you both! Lately, I have been working with Kayak Fishing Magazine and have learned alot about the sport through the experience. A true kayak fishing information entity. I serve as moderator in the forums and currently organize and report on tournaments and events. This year I have co-founded Jersey Cape Kayak Fishing with Charlie LaBar (LUNCHBOX)and also The JCKF Cape May Kayak Fishing Tournament for Charity held in October. Fish Whisperer Guide Service has also been born.Both kayak fishing and kayak birding are available throughout Cape May County. I enjoy introducing others to the sport and have assisted in many clinics, workshops and demo’s like the State of New Jersey, BOW program which offers women the opportunity to learn new outdoor skills and enhance their appreciation of the outdoors. |

Opening day Fluke in NJ
Created On: 05/28/2010 03:49:08
I'm planning to launch in the Wildwood / Cape May area on Saturday just before sunrise. Many of the fish are in the back and the inlets. I'm not a big fan of Fluke fishing, but opening day has a special appeal for some reason.
The plan is to get out of there before the Memorial Day Weekend crowd shakes their hangovers and fires up their seldom used engines. Oh the joys of living in a resort town.
Have a safe Memorial Day Weekend out there everyone and enjoy a BBQ or 2.

Great day and a lot of fun. Very nice to meet Skip, Rob, and Jon!
We had our own parade of 7 kayaks cruising through the Cape May inlet and rounding the jetty. The weather was perfect!
The tautog action was red hot. I ended up with a 16 1/2 inch tautog and LUNCHBOX had one 17" even. Larger fish were being caught, but we were beat to the spot by those guys with motors.
BigBlue had a keeper size bass up to the grippers when it pulled a Houdini on him. He had a second at 26" that stuck around for a brief photoshoot that was tagged as well!
SeaFlea ended up with a 5lb Morkie named Briar. My wife's puppy that cried at my front door for a half hour after he left.
I shot a short video of porpoise swimming up to YAKMAN and briefly checking him out before going their own way.
Those with fish finders that work (GRRRRR) were marking fish everywhere but for some reason, the overall bite was slow.
A great day with friends out on the water, laughing, BSing, and sharing a day that will become, "this one day in Cape May".

On the hunt for Grass Shrimp today

We have a pretty good turnout for this Sat and the weather looks cooperative. We plan to launch out of the Cape May, NJ Inlet to find some spring Bass, Weakies and Tautog.
One of the best baits for the spring is Grass Shrimp. I collect them around the docks and piers using a trawl designed by an old friend that took me under his wing. Dip nets work too, however if you're looking for a gallon or two of these little guys a dip net could take a while.
I can usually keep Grass Shrimp alive for 4-5 days in a cooler. This in itself is an artform again passed down. I know that it will be slow going this early in the season. So. I'm off to fill the cooler.

Testing the new blog feature. This is nice!!!
Over the winter I have aquired a few new toys and the pre-season re-rigging is under way. I'll be a one arm Kayaker until August so I am relocating my steering to starboard on my Outback as well.
There are alot of tournaments and events this year and as always, I will be going to as many as I can. I'll be reporting back here at KFM under the tournaments and events section. If you have any questions about an event or want to share some info feel free to hit me up anytime.
