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
The Ramapo River near Oakland, NJ, offers a chance to pursue wild and holdover brown trout. While not as heavily stocked with browns as with rainbows, the Ramapo does support a population of these more elusive fish. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall, particularly during periods of low light. Early mornings and late evenings are prime times. Look for deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with overhead cover. Fly fishing is a popular method, with nymphs and streamers often producing results. Spin anglers can also have success with small crankbaits and spinners. Access to the river is available from various points along Route 202, but be mindful of private property. The brown trout in the Ramapo can be wary, so stealth is key. Consider using lighter line and natural-colored lures or flies. Remember to check the NJ fishing regulations for size and creel limits, as they may differ from other trout species.
