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 Fair Haven, New Jersey, explore the freshwater portions of the rivers and creeks that feed into the Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers. While the immediate area is dominated by saltwater, venturing slightly inland will yield some crappie fishing opportunities. Ponds and smaller lakes in Monmouth County also hold crappie populations. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for areas with submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. A local tip is to use small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie nibbles, suspended under a bobber. Adjust the depth of your bobber until you find where the fish are holding. Also, try fishing near bridge pilings, as these often attract crappie. The crappie in these waters tend to be relatively small, but they can be plentiful. Focus on fishing early in the morning or late in the evening for the best results.
