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 East Newark can be surprisingly good if you know where to look. While not as prominent as other species, crappie can be found in the quieter backwaters and tributaries of the Passaic River. Dundee Lake, a short drive north, is another potential spot. Spring is the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them near submerged brush, docks, and other structure. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are the go-to baits. A light action rod and line are essential for detecting the subtle bites. Access to the Passaic can be limited, but exploring along the riverbanks and looking for public access points is key. Remember to check the local fishing regulations for creel limits and size restrictions. The crappie in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers during the spawning season.
