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 fishing around Milltown, NJ, often centers on the more secluded ponds and lakes in the surrounding Middlesex County area. While not a renowned crappie destination, these smaller bodies of water can hold some surprisingly good populations of these panfish. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target them, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for areas with submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. These provide cover and attract crappie. The Ireland Brook Conservation Area, though a bit of a drive, offers access to some promising crappie waters. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits, fished under a bobber or slow-retrieved. Early morning and late afternoon are typically the most productive times. Be mindful of water clarity, as clear water can make crappie more skittish. Light line and finesse presentations often work best. Remember to consult the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife website for current regulations and creel limits.
