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 to target crappie near Metuchen, NJ, explore the local lakes and ponds within Middlesex County. These panfish can be plentiful, offering a fun and rewarding fishing experience, especially for beginners. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and weed beds. Small jigs and minnows are highly effective baits. A simple float rig can be deadly. A practical tip: check local park regulations for access points and any specific rules regarding fishing. The crappie in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers. Be patient and experiment with different depths and presentations to find what the fish are biting on. A light action rod and reel will enhance the experience.
