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 Englewood Cliffs, NJ, can be productive if you know where to look. The Overpeck Creek and its associated lake in Overpeck County Park, a short drive from Englewood Cliffs, offers some of the best crappie fishing in the area. Look for crappie around submerged structure like fallen trees, docks, and weed beds. Spring is the absolute best time to target crappie as they move into the shallows to spawn. Minnows and small jigs are the go-to baits. A light action rod and reel spooled with 4-pound test line is ideal for detecting subtle bites. Overpeck Lake can get crowded, especially on weekends, so try to fish during the week or early in the morning. A boat launch is available, but shoreline access is also good in some areas. The crappie here tend to school up, so when you find one, you're likely to find more.
