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 Cliffside Park can be quite rewarding if you know where to look. While not a hotspot, nearby lakes and reservoirs like Overpeck Creek and even the Hackensack River impoundments offer decent crappie populations. Spring is the best time, particularly during the pre-spawn period when crappie move into shallow, weedy areas to prepare for spawning. Try fishing around submerged structure, docks, and brush piles with small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber. A local tip: Overpeck Creek Park offers good bank access and several productive spots are easily reachable without a boat. The crappie in these waters tend to be on the smaller side, averaging 8-10 inches, but they are plentiful. Light tackle is key for detecting their subtle bites. Be sure to check local regulations for creel limits and size restrictions before heading out.
