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 Freehold, NJ, isn't exactly a trout mecca, determined anglers can find opportunities for Brown Trout within a reasonable drive. The nearby Pequest River is stocked with trout and provides a decent chance to hook into a brown. Spring is typically the best time to fish, immediately following the stocking. However, some holdover trout will persist throughout the year, especially in cooler, deeper sections of the river. Consider using small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms or mealworms. Fly fishing can also be effective, particularly with nymph patterns. A crucial tip for the Pequest is to check the stocking schedule on the NJ Fish and Wildlife website, as the river can get crowded immediately after a stocking. Also, be mindful of the regulations for trout fishing, which may include specific gear restrictions and catch-and-release zones. Explore the areas upstream from the hatchery for a slightly more secluded experience.
