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 Matawan, NJ, isn't renowned as a brown trout mecca, determined anglers can find opportunities within a short drive. Your best bet is to target streams that feed into the larger rivers. The nearby Big Brook, while known more for its fossils, can hold trout. The key is to look for cooler, well-oxygenated water. Spring and fall are the most productive times. Early morning or late evening fishing is often best, especially during warmer periods. Small spinners, worms, and trout magnets can be effective. Fly fishing with nymphs or small dry flies is also a good option. Access can be limited, so research public access points beforehand and be respectful of private property. The trout in these smaller streams tend to be on the smaller side, often in the 8-12 inch range, but the thrill of catching wild or holdover browns in a suburban setting is worth the effort. Check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife website for stocking information and regulations.
