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
If you're looking to catch Crappie near Demarest, NJ, focus on the area's reservoirs and ponds. Oradell Reservoir and Lake Tappan both hold decent populations of crappie. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the absolute best time to target them, as they congregate in shallow, weedy areas. Look for submerged structure, brush piles, and docks. A key local tip is to use a small boat or kayak to access the more secluded coves and backwaters of these reservoirs. Light tackle is essential; a small jig or minnow suspended under a float is a classic and effective presentation. Crappie in these waters tend to be relatively small, averaging around 8-10 inches, but they can be caught in good numbers. Focus your efforts in the early morning or late afternoon for the best results. Remember to check the local regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions.
