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
Central New Jersey might not be the first place that springs to mind for trout fishing, but the brown trout fishing near South Plainfield offers some surprisingly good opportunities for anglers willing to explore its smaller waterways. The Raritan River and its tributaries, like the Millstone River, are your best bet for finding browns. These streams are often stocked, but holdover fish can grow to impressive sizes, especially in areas with good cover and cooler water temperatures. Spring and fall are prime times, coinciding with stocking and cooler water. Early morning and late evening are often productive. For bank access, look for public parks along the rivers and streams, but be prepared for some walking to find the less-pressured spots. Wading can be tricky due to varying water levels and slippery rocks, so exercise caution. A NJ fishing license is required, and be sure to check current regulations regarding trout stocking and any special restrictions on specific sections of the river. The browns here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a mix of lures, flies, and bait can be effective depending on water conditions.
