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.

Brown Trout
While Avalon, NJ is primarily known for its saltwater fishing, dedicated anglers can find opportunities for brown trout in the nearby freshwater systems. The key is to venture inland to the tributaries of the Mullica River or the Great Egg Harbor River. These tannin-stained waters, though not classic trout habitat, hold surprisingly good populations of stocked brown trout, and even some holdover fish that have adapted to the environment. Spring and fall are the prime times to target them, as the water temperatures are more favorable. Focus on areas with submerged logs, overhanging vegetation, and deeper pools. Access can be a challenge, often requiring some hiking and bushwhacking to reach the productive spots. Consider using lightweight spinning gear with small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms. A local tip: check the stocking schedules from the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife and plan your trips accordingly. Some of these brown trout can grow to impressive sizes in the relatively fertile waters, so be prepared for a good fight!
