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 Hightstown, New Jersey, area have several freshwater options to explore. Mercer County Park Lake is a solid choice, known for its accessible shoreline and decent crappie population. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged structure, docks, and weed beds in the coves. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are the go-to baits. Another option to consider is Lake Carnegie, which is a bit further of a drive. It also provides ample habitat for crappie. Local anglers often have success fishing under bridges and around fallen trees. A key tip: pay attention to water clarity, as crappie can be finicky. If the water is murky, try using brighter colored jigs. Be sure to consult the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife regulations for size and creel limits before you head out; regulations can vary by location.
