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 Ridgefield, New Jersey, might not be the first place that comes to mind for trout fishing, it's within striking distance of some decent brown trout streams. You'll need to head west towards the more mountainous regions of northern New Jersey to find suitable trout habitat. The Pequannock River and its tributaries, while a bit of a drive, offer opportunities to catch stocked and holdover brown trout. Spring is prime time, especially after stocking, but the fall can also be rewarding as trout become more active before winter. Focus on areas with deeper pools, undercut banks, and riffles. A key local tip is to check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for stocking schedules and regulations before you go. Also, be aware that many of these streams are small and can be easily spooked, so use stealth and light tackle. The brown trout in these streams tend to be wary, so natural presentations with nymphs and dry flies often work best.
