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.

Crappie
Crappie enthusiasts will find decent opportunities near Alpha, NJ, particularly in the quieter, slower-moving waters connected to the Delaware River. Look into the numerous ponds and small lakes dotting the landscape, as they often provide ideal crappie habitat. Early spring, just before the spawn, and again in the fall as the water cools are the best times to target them. During the spring spawn, focus your efforts around submerged brush, fallen trees, and docks in shallow water. Small jigs and minnows suspended under a bobber are classic crappie presentations that work well here. A helpful local tip is to try fishing near bridge pilings or any structure that provides cover. The crappie in this area tend to run a bit on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. Check depth finders for schools of fish before committing to a spot. Be aware of any local regulations regarding size and creel limits before heading out.
