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 around Dunellen, New Jersey, can be quite productive if you know where to look. The many smaller lakes and ponds in the surrounding area hold decent populations of these panfish. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged structure like fallen trees, docks, and brush piles. A simple jig suspended under a bobber is a classic and effective presentation. Minnows are also a reliable choice. A local trick is to fish near the edges of lily pads, as crappie often seek refuge there. Public access is available at several locations, but check local regulations regarding boat launches and permits. The crappie in this region tend to be of decent size, with many reaching 10-12 inches, providing a tasty meal.
