Terry Sullivans Guide Service
Point Pleasant, New Jersey
I am a lifelong resident of Ocean County, New Jersey and have been a professional fishing guide for the past ten years. I have been an intense and avid salt-water fisherman for over thirty years. Both of my boats are especially well suited for fly-fishing. In our local waters we are able to catch large striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, fluke, albacore, bonita, spanish mackerel, and a variety of different tuna. As your charter-fishing guide I will also tailor fit our itinerary to target any specific salt-water species that are within our range and season if you desire. Whether it is live-lining bait or enticing them with a custom tied fly, I well do what it takes to put us on the bite. I would enjoy and welcome the opportunity to make your day an enjoyable experience and pleasantly memorable one fishing the rivers, bays and ocean as your personal salt-water fishing guide.

Bluefish
Targeting Bluefish near Cape May Court House offers exciting opportunities in both the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. These aggressive predators are abundant and readily take a variety of lures and baits. Spring and fall migrations bring large schools of blues into the area. Surface plugs, spoons, and cut bait are all effective. A local tip: the rips and shoals around the Cape May Inlet are known Bluefish hotspots, especially during strong tidal currents. Also, consider fishing from the beaches or jetties, particularly during dawn and dusk. Bluefish are known for their voracious appetites and can be caught throughout the day, but low light conditions often produce the most consistent action. Be mindful of their sharp teeth and use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. The Bluefish population in this area is generally robust, providing ample opportunities for anglers of all skill levels.
