One of the most respected light tackle and fly fishing backwater guides in New Jersey, Dan is the best when it comes to understanding where fish are, why they are there, and what to do to catch them. His guide service (Insomniac Guide Service) offers year round striped bass trips, shallow water back bay fishing, and fly and light tackle angling out of Stone Harbor, NJ.
