Nick Ruiz

Nick is a certified New York State freshwater fishing guide. As a bass angler, born and raised on Long Island, he has learned through experience the need for attention to detail to be a successful angler. This meticulous attention to the finer points of angling that Nick has applied to all aspects of fishing. Though still in what he considers a critical learning phase, he has developed several tried and true techniques that make up a large part of his recreational and tournament angling.

Nick has also had the unique and valued opportunity to instruct other anglers on various levels in seminars and state events. The subjects have ranged from advanced bass tactics on pressured waters to the importance of conservation and care for the environment. Through these teaching opportunities, he has furthered his knowledge of the sport and gained immense respect for those involved in it. Currently, Nick is a member of the Long Island Bassmasters, through which he fishes tournaments and engages in constant learning.

During the summer months, Nick tries to spend as much time on the water as possible, with frequent trips to the Tri-State area's various "big water" reservoirs and lakes to further his knowledge of such an elusive species.
