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
Brown trout fishing near Northvale, NJ, focuses on the tributaries of the Hackensack River and nearby streams in Bergen County. While not a trophy trout destination, these smaller waters offer a chance to catch wild and stocked browns in a more intimate setting. The best times to fish are spring and fall, particularly after a period of rain when the water is slightly higher and the fish are more active. Look for deeper pools, riffles, and undercut banks that provide cover for trout. Wading is often necessary, so be prepared with appropriate gear. Consider using small spinners, spoons, or fly fishing with nymphs and dry flies. Be aware of private property boundaries and obtain permission before fishing on private land. A valid New Jersey fishing license is required, and familiarize yourself with local regulations regarding size and creel limits for trout. Access to some streams can be challenging, requiring some hiking, but the reward is a chance to connect with nature and potentially catch some beautiful brown trout.
