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 Middlesex, New Jersey, might not be the first place that comes to mind for trout fishing, the South Branch of the Raritan River, which flows nearby, offers a surprising opportunity for brown trout anglers. The South Branch is a stocked river, and holdover browns can provide some exciting action. Spring is a great time to target these fish, particularly after a stocking. Fall is also productive as the browns become more active in preparation for spawning. Wading is a popular method, but be cautious of slippery rocks and fluctuating water levels. Look for deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with overhanging vegetation, as these provide cover for the trout. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait can be effective, but fly fishing with nymphs and dry flies is also popular. A good access point is at Ken Lockwood Gorge Conservation Area, a short drive west of Middlesex. Be sure to check the NJDEP's trout stocking schedule and regulations before heading out.
