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 for crappie near Emerson, New Jersey, the Oradell Reservoir is a solid starting point. This reservoir holds a good population of crappie, offering anglers a decent chance at catching some slabs. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the best time to target them, as they congregate in shallow, protected areas. Look for brush piles, submerged trees, and weed beds in coves. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are highly effective. A slow retrieve is key. Another option is to explore some of the smaller ponds and lakes in the surrounding Bergen County parks. These often hold overlooked crappie populations and offer good bank fishing opportunities. Remember to obtain the necessary permits for the Oradell Reservoir before fishing. Light tackle is essential for crappie fishing, as they have delicate mouths. A long, sensitive rod can help detect subtle bites.
