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 as widely known as other trout destinations in New Jersey, the Lakehurst area offers limited opportunities for brown trout in some of the smaller streams and rivers that feed into the larger bodies of water. The key is to target streams that are spring-fed, as these tend to maintain cooler water temperatures throughout the year. Spring and fall are the best times to fish for them, especially after a rain. Small spinners, dry flies, and nymphs can be effective. A local tip: Look for areas with undercut banks and overhanging vegetation, as brown trout often seek shelter in these spots. Access can be challenging in some areas due to dense vegetation, so be prepared for some hiking. The brown trout population isn't huge, but the chance of catching a wild brown in this unique environment makes it a rewarding experience.
