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
For Brown Trout in the Bernardsville, NJ area, focus your efforts on the Raritan River and its tributaries. These streams, though often small, can hold some surprisingly good populations of wild and stocked browns. The spring and fall offer the best conditions, with cooler water temperatures and active insect hatches. Look for deeper pools, undercut banks, and riffles, as these provide ideal habitat for trout. A key tip is to use a stealthy approach. These streams are often clear, and the trout are easily spooked. Use light line, small flies, and avoid making sudden movements. A local angler's secret is to fish during or after a light rain, as this can dislodge insects and make the trout more active. Access can be challenging in some areas, so be prepared to hike and explore. The browns here typically range from 8-14 inches, but some larger holdovers can be found in the deeper pools. Consider using a dry-dropper rig to cover both surface and subsurface feeding trout.
