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
Chasing brown trout near Dunellen, New Jersey, requires a bit more dedication than targeting rainbows, but it can be rewarding. While some streams are stocked with browns, the real challenge is finding holdover fish that have adapted to the local environment. The Raritan River and its tributaries can hold some surprisingly large brown trout. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, focusing on deep pools, undercut banks, and areas with heavy cover. Stealth is crucial, as brown trout are notoriously wary. Try using natural-looking flies or lures that imitate the local forage. A local piece of advice: fish during low-light conditions, such as dawn or dusk, or on overcast days. These fish are more active when the sun isn't directly overhead. Access can be challenging in some areas, so be prepared to hike. While not abundant, the brown trout in this region can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 20 inches possible.
