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 Riverdale presents a unique opportunity in the heart of northern New Jersey. The Pequannock River, a designated trout-stocked stream, offers the most readily accessible brown trout fishing. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons, coinciding with stocking schedules and cooler water temperatures. Anglers should note that water levels can fluctuate rapidly after rainfall, impacting clarity and fish behavior. A practical tip is to check the USGS water data for the Pequannock River before heading out. For access, several bridge crossings and roadside pull-offs along Route 23 provide convenient entry points to the river. The brown trout here tend to be wild and hold in deeper pools and runs, often near submerged structure. Stealth is key; approach the water cautiously and use natural-looking presentations like nymphs and small streamers.
