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 Merchantville, NJ, isn't exactly a brown trout mecca, dedicated anglers willing to travel a bit can find some limited opportunities in the region. Brown trout are not commonly found in the immediate vicinity, so you'll need to head north or west towards the Delaware River tributaries or select stocked streams in the northern part of the state. The Pequest River is a popular option, although it's a considerable drive. Spring and fall, particularly during and after stocking periods, offer the best chances of success. Look for deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with good cover. Brown trout can be wary, so stealth is key. Use natural-colored flies or lures, and consider fishing during low-light conditions. Access to some of these streams may require wading, so appropriate gear is essential. Local tip: Check the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife website for stocking schedules and regulations before heading out. Furthermore, practice catch and release to help preserve these valuable fish in limited habitats.
