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 Plainfield, NJ, requires a bit of travel, but the rewards can be worth it. While the immediate area is more known for warm-water species, heading north or west towards the Highlands region will put you in trout territory. The South Branch of the Raritan River, particularly sections upstream of Clinton, is a popular and productive brown trout fishery. The Pequest River is another worthwhile option, known for its consistently cold and clear water. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target browns, as they are more active in cooler water temperatures. Early morning and late evening are often productive. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or mealworms can be effective. Fly fishing with nymphs and dry flies is also popular. Be sure to check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's trout stocking schedule, as many sections are regularly stocked. Access to the South Branch is generally good, with several public access points and parking areas along Route 31. Remember to purchase a valid NJ fishing license and trout stamp before heading out.
