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 crappie near Montvale, NJ, several local lakes and ponds offer decent opportunities. Lake Tappan is a popular choice, known for its population of black crappie. These fish often congregate near submerged structure, so focus your efforts around docks, brush piles, and fallen trees. Spring is an excellent time to target crappie as they move into shallow water to spawn. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are highly effective. A slip bobber rig allows you to present your bait at the desired depth. Another local tip: pay attention to water temperature, as crappie become more active as the water warms. Slow, steady retrieves tend to work best. Access to Lake Tappan is available via boat ramps, but be aware of any permit requirements. Remember to check the current fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
