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 anglers in the Fairview, NJ area have a few good options to explore. While not a renowned crappie hotspot, the Hackensack River and some of the smaller lakes and ponds in Bergen County hold populations of these tasty panfish. Early spring, just before and during the spawn, is the best time to target them. Look for crappie around submerged structure like fallen trees, docks, and bridge pilings in relatively shallow water (4-8 feet). Small jigs tipped with live minnows are a classic and effective presentation. A slip bobber rig can help you maintain the perfect depth. Access to the Hackensack River can be found at various points, though shoreline access is often limited. Consider using a kayak or small boat to reach prime crappie holding areas. The crappie in these waters tend to be of average size, but a day on the water can still yield a satisfying catch.
