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 central New Jersey, the waterways around Kenilworth offer some surprisingly good opportunities. The Rahway River and its associated ponds and reservoirs, like the nearby Milton Lake, are your best bets. These waters are relatively shallow and weedy, providing excellent cover for crappie. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Early morning and late evening are usually the most productive times. A small jig tipped with a minnow or a tube bait fished under a bobber is a classic and effective technique. Access to the Rahway River can be found at several local parks, but be prepared for some bank fishing as boat access is limited in certain areas. Milton Lake has a small boat ramp, but it's best suited for smaller boats or kayaks. One local tip: pay attention to water clarity. After heavy rains, the river can get muddy, which can shut down the bite. Clearer water usually means better fishing. The crappie here aren't huge, averaging 8-10 inches, but you can find some exceeding 12 inches.
