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 Newark might not be the first place that springs to mind for brown trout, the nearby Passaic River and its tributaries offer surprisingly good opportunities for anglers. These urban waterways, often overlooked, hold a decent population of wild and holdover browns. Spring and fall are prime times, with the fish actively feeding as water temperatures moderate. Early morning and late evening are particularly productive. Access can be tricky in some areas, but exploring the stretches near Branch Brook Park or further upstream towards more suburban areas can yield results. Look for deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with structure like fallen trees. A NJ fishing license is required, and be aware of local regulations regarding catch-and-release. Consider using small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms and nightcrawlers. Due to the urban setting, it's advisable to check local water quality reports and be mindful of potential pollution.
