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 crappie are on your mind near North Plainfield, NJ, consider exploring the local reservoirs and ponds. Lake Hopatcong, although a bit of a drive, is a good option. Closer to North Plainfield, check out smaller bodies of water like Spruce Run Reservoir or even smaller local ponds. Spring, particularly during the pre-spawn period when water temperatures rise, is the prime time for crappie. They congregate in shallow areas near submerged structure, making them easier to target. Use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber near brush piles, fallen trees, or docks. A local tip: try fishing near the Route 78 bridge on Spruce Run; the pilings often hold crappie. The crappie in this area tend to be good size, especially in the reservoirs, so you have a good chance of landing some slab-sized fish.
