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
Finding brown trout near Pitman, NJ, requires a bit of a drive, as the local waters aren't ideally suited for them. However, the nearby Big Timber Creek, particularly its upper reaches further from the tidal influence, is stocked with brown trout by the state. Spring (March-May) is the prime time, immediately following the stocking efforts. Look for deeper pools and runs with good cover, such as overhanging trees and submerged logs. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or mealworms can be effective. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers can also produce results. Access to Big Timber Creek is available at several points along the highway, but be mindful of private property and respect posted signage. The trout in this area are generally stocked fish, so don't expect trophy sizes, but they can provide a fun and accessible fishing experience.
