The Pond Hopper guide service started because of my passion for fishing and my desire to help others gain a true appreciation of the sport.

Small lake fishing is a great way 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.

What I Do

The Pond Hopper offers guided kayak small lake  and pond fishing trips in northern and central New Jersey.

Fishing on Native Watercraft, sit on top kayaks,  using artificial hard and soft lures.  Native Kayaks are stable and offer plenty of leg room and storage. Super comfortable seating.

I advocate catch and release so others can come back for another day of fishing.

Largemouth and Smallmouth bass are our main target,  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 6 lb. or 8 lb. test line.

• Sit on Top Kayaks by Native Watercraft
• Life vest, paddle, and whistle
• All lures and soft plastic baits
  
• Quality Rods and reels

You say you have never fished from a kayak before, ....no worries. I will have you casting, paddling and feeling like you've been doing this for years by the end of your fishing day.
