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 not known as a trout mecca, Woodcliff Lake and the surrounding streams in Bergen County, New Jersey, offer limited but rewarding brown trout fishing opportunities. The Pascack Brook, which feeds into the Hackensack River, is a potential spot to explore. Spring and fall are the most productive times, especially after a good rain. These browns are often stocked, so check with the NJDEP for stocking schedules. A key to success here is stealth; the water tends to be clear, and the trout can be easily spooked. Try using small nymphs or dry flies. Waders are recommended for better access to the brook. Keep in mind that the browns here can be quite wary due to fishing pressure, and they might not reach trophy sizes, but the challenge makes landing one all the more satisfying. Remember to check the local regulations regarding tackle and catch limits.
