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 after Crappie near Lambertville, NJ, the D&R Canal is a prime location. This calm, relatively shallow waterway provides ideal habitat for crappie, with abundant weed cover and submerged structure. Focus on areas around docks, bridges, and overhanging trees, as these provide shade and cover. Spring and early summer are the best times to target crappie, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Use small jigs or minnows under a bobber, and fish slowly. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity. If the water is murky, use brighter colored lures. Also, be aware that the canal can get crowded, especially on weekends, so try to fish during off-peak hours. You can access the canal at numerous points along its length, with parking available at several locations. Crappie in the D&R Canal typically range in size from 8-12 inches, with larger fish possible.
