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
Milltown, New Jersey, offers some surprisingly good brown trout fishing, primarily in the Raritan River and its tributaries. While not a destination fishery, the local stretches provide opportunities to hook into some beautiful browns, especially if you time your trip right. Spring and fall are the prime seasons, with the trout becoming more active as water temperatures cool. The fall spawning run can be particularly exciting. Access can be a bit tricky as much of the riverfront is privately owned, but there are a few public access points along the Raritan near Milltown, including near Donaldson Park. Wading can be productive in some areas, but be cautious of slippery rocks and fluctuating water levels, especially after rain. Targeting areas with structure like fallen logs, undercut banks, and deeper pools will increase your chances. Small spinners, nymphs, and dry flies are all effective, depending on the time of year and water conditions. Remember to check the current NJ fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
