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
Finding Brown Trout near Deal, New Jersey, requires a bit of a trek inland, as the immediate coastal area isn't prime trout habitat. You'll need to head west towards the more mountainous regions of northern or western New Jersey to find suitable streams and rivers. The Pequest River and the South Branch of the Raritan River, both roughly an hour's drive from Deal, are known for their brown trout populations, sustained through both stocking and natural reproduction. Spring and fall are the best times to fish for them, as water temperatures are more favorable. When fishing these rivers, focus on areas with riffles, runs, and pools. Wading is often necessary, so appropriate gear is essential. Try using a combination of nymphing and streamer techniques to cover different depths and water types. Be sure to check the current fishing regulations for specific sections of these rivers, as some may have special restrictions, such as catch-and-release only or fly-fishing only zones.
