Kayak fishing New Jersey small lakes and ponds.  It's my passion for fishing that drives me to search and find new locations to go kayak fishing.

I started the Pond Hopper guide service to teach and instruct others about the sport of kayak fishing and to gain a true appreciation of New Jersey outdoors. I offer Kayak Fishing Instructions, and Kayak Fishing Trips. While out with The Pond Hopper you will be paddling in some of NJ's most picturesque lakes and ponds, using some of the best fishing kayaks available.

Bass Fishing, Canoeing, and Kayaking are great ways to spend quality time on the water while enjoying the beautiful scenery of many of New Jersey's small lakes and ponds.

New Jersey offers many exciting paddling and fishing destinations, from the numerous trout stock streams to the many small lakes, there is something for everyone. Fishing Kayaks make these locations easily accessible.

What I Do

The Pond Hopper offers kayak fishing trips in northern and central New Jersey small lakes and ponds. Using Hobie Mirage Drive Kayaks, Ocean Kayak Trident series kayaks. Our fleet consist of over 12 boats.

I advocate (CPR) catch photo and release so you and others can come back for another enjoyable day of fishing.

We target mostly Largemouth and Smallmouth bass. However, Pickerel, Crappies, and Bluegills are also in the mix, since in most waters these fish seek similar types of bait and structure as  Bass.

Light spinning tackle is used, generally 8 lb. test line.

You say you have little to no experience with fishing kayaks, ....no worries. Fishing with The Pond Hopper will provide you with instructions on casting, paddling and making you feel like you've been doing this for years.
