The Crew

Captain Bob Balewicz

Owner

Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain

A lifelong 'Jersey native, I've been fishing since I was 5.  I learned from my Dad how to fish freshwater brooks, streams, rivers & lakes in Canada as a youngster. I honed my saltwater fishing skills from the Raritan & Barnegat Bays to being raised on the 'Jersey Shore at Chadwick Beach, so I've never been more than a few miles from salt water my whole life.

From the Bays to the Beaches; from the Inshore Fishing Grounds to the Offshore Canyons; I've 'put in the time' & will work hard to insure the highest quality fishing experience for my charter clients. If  you'd like references, please send an e-mail & we'll put you in touch with Carcharodon charter clients.

Paul Pesce
Mate

Paul is a good friend of mine who has knowledge of every kind of saltwater fishing prey, is a great rigger & a helluva guy with a shotgun when the Makos get close to the boat...or not so close too!

What you'll find most interesting, though, is his patience with children, mommies & those "less than fishing-gifted" people. Families coming back for a second & third trip ask for him, kids love him...fish still fear him.

An accomplished bow hunter, Paul can be regularly found in a tree stand...somewhere in 'Jersey, once deer season begins.

Captain Kevin Carey
United States Coast Guard Master Captain

Kevin fishes out of Clinton, CT when he's not with us & can run the boat with Paul if I'm not available. He also owns a house up near Okemo & his wife is a Level 3 ski instructor. Kev is a great skier.

BTW, want to know anything about Fred Archer? Ask Kev.

Charles Vanderbeck
Mate

Charles (no 'Chucks', please) is one hard worker, who fishes often for Stripers, Shark, Tuna, and Fluke with his friends. His fishing talent & experience is great, but as well, he learned to detail & maintain boats working with a professional crew. We like that! Now he gets to put all his combined knowledge to work with us. Charles lives locally in Manasquan & is available to us & our clients on a moments notice! Best to call or text Charles & if the surf is high & well formed, best to call him early & often!
