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 not a renowned brown trout destination, Helmetta, NJ, offers some surprisingly decent opportunities for anglers willing to explore its freshwater streams and smaller tributaries of the Manalapan Brook. These waters, though often overlooked, can hold holdover browns, especially in the deeper, cooler pockets. Spring and fall are prime times; target the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods when the trout are most active and feeding aggressively. A stealthy approach is key due to the relatively small size of these streams; use light tackle and natural presentations like nymphs or small spinners. Be aware that access can be limited, so scout for public access points or obtain permission from landowners. Pay close attention to water levels, as these streams can fluctuate rapidly after rain events. Remember to check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific trout stocking and fishing guidelines in the area.
