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 Harvey Cedars offers a peaceful change of pace from the ocean. While not the first species that comes to mind in this coastal town, nearby freshwater ponds and impoundments connected to the Barnegat Bay watershed hold surprisingly good populations of crappie. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target them, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are highly effective. Focus your efforts around submerged structure like brush piles, docks, and fallen trees. A local tip: many of these spots are best accessed by kayak or canoe, allowing you to quietly approach the fish without spooking them. The crappie in these waters tend to be good-sized, often exceeding a pound, and provide excellent light-tackle action. Look for areas with slightly stained water, as this provides cover for the crappie and makes them less wary. Consider using a bobber to suspend your bait at the right depth, especially when fishing around structure.
