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 slab-sized crappie in New Jersey, the Delaware River near Frenchtown offers some excellent opportunities. What makes this stretch unique is the combination of slower currents, deeper pools, and abundant submerged structure – ideal habitat for crappie to thrive. Target areas around fallen trees, bridge pilings, and rocky outcroppings, especially where the river widens. Spring (April-May) is prime time as the crappie move shallow to spawn, but the fall (September-October) can also be very productive as they fatten up before winter. A small jig tipped with a minnow or a tube bait fished under a bobber is a classic and effective presentation. Be mindful of river conditions; heavy rains can muddy the water and impact fishing. Access is available at the Frenchtown boat launch, but be prepared for some current, especially when the river is high. Locals often have success drifting along the edges of the main channel, using their trolling motor to control their speed and presentation.
