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.

Cobia
Cobia are an exciting, though less common, target for anglers fishing around Longport, New Jersey. These powerful fish typically show up in the warmer months, from late June through September, as they follow baitfish migrations along the coast. Look for them around buoys, channel markers, and wrecks in the nearshore waters. Live eels or bunker are excellent baits, fished on a heavy-duty spinning or conventional setup. Sight fishing for cobia cruising near the surface can also be effective. A local tip: always keep a rod rigged and ready with a live bait when running between fishing spots, as cobia can appear unexpectedly. Access to offshore waters requires a boat, and several marinas offer rentals and charters in the area. Cobia in this region can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 50 pounds being caught regularly. Be sure to have the proper gear and a strong back, as these fish are known for their powerful runs.
