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
If you're looking for wild brown trout in northern New Jersey, the streams around Lincoln Park offer some surprisingly good opportunities. The Pequannock River and its tributaries are the main draw, offering classic freestone stream habitat. Spring and fall are prime times – spring for the hatches and fall for pre-spawn aggression. Water levels can fluctuate dramatically after rain, so check conditions before you head out. Access can be a bit tricky as much of the land is private, but there are several public access points along Jacksonville Road and near the Pequannock Watershed. Be prepared for some bushwhacking; these browns aren't pushovers and often hold in tight spots. The browns here aren't huge, averaging 8-12 inches, but they are beautiful, wild fish that will test your skills. Try small nymphs and dry flies that imitate local mayflies and caddis.
