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 in Brigantine offers a unique experience within its brackish water influenced freshwater systems. While not as abundant as in dedicated freshwater lakes, crappie can be found in the calmer backwaters and tidal creeks. The best time to target them is during the spring spawn (April-May) when they move into shallower waters to reproduce. Small jigs and minnows fished under a bobber are highly effective. Focus on areas with submerged structure like fallen trees or bridge pilings. A local tip: try fishing around the edges of the salt marshes where freshwater mixes with the saltwater. Be aware of the tides, as they can significantly impact water depth and current in these areas. A small boat or kayak provides the best access to these secluded crappie spots. Expect the crappie to be of average size, but the serenity of the location more than makes up for it.
