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 fishing near Leonia, NJ, requires a trip to the northern part of the state. While Overpeck Creek doesn't hold trout, the Pequannock River, about an hour's drive away, is a popular destination for those seeking trout in a more natural setting. The Pequannock is stocked with brown trout and also holds a population of wild browns. Spring and fall are the prime times to fish the Pequannock, with the stocking season in spring bringing increased opportunities. Wading is the most common method, so be sure to wear appropriate gear. A local tip: Focus on areas with riffles, runs, and pools, using nymphs, streamers, or small spinners. The Pequannock River Management Area offers public access and good fishing opportunities. Remember to check the current fishing regulations and stocking schedule before you go. Brown trout in the Pequannock typically range from 10-16 inches, with larger holdover fish possible.
