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
Lakehurst and the surrounding areas in the Pine Barrens are a haven for crappie anglers. The numerous cedar-water lakes and ponds provide ideal habitat for these panfish. These waters are stained dark brown from the tannins in the surrounding pine trees. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallow, weedy areas to spawn. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are deadly. A local tip: Look for submerged structure like fallen trees or brush piles, as crappie often congregate around these areas. Many of the lakes have public access points, but some require a small fee. Also, be aware of the presence of snapping turtles. The crappie here are known to be good-sized, making for some excellent table fare. Focus on areas with overhanging trees or docks for best results.
