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 fishing near Atlantic Highlands requires a short drive inland, but the rewards can be well worth the effort. The freshwater ponds and lakes of Monmouth County, like Holmdel Park Pond or Lake Topanemus, hold decent populations of these panfish. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and weed beds. Small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie nibbles are highly effective. A local tip: Holmdel Park Pond is easily accessible and offers good bank fishing opportunities. Be aware that these smaller bodies of water can be heavily pressured, so a stealthy approach and light line are essential. The crappie in these waters tend to be on the smaller side, but they are plentiful and make for a fun day of fishing.
