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 near North Wildwood often means exploring the freshwater bodies in the surrounding areas. Belleplain State Forest, a short drive inland, is a great place to start. The ponds and lakes within the forest offer good crappie habitat, particularly around submerged structure and weed beds. Spring and fall are the best times to target crappie, as they tend to school up during these periods. Minnows fished under a bobber are a classic and effective technique, but small jigs and tubes can also be productive. Look for areas with downed trees or submerged brush. Access to Belleplain State Forest is well-marked, and boat rentals are often available at the larger lakes. The crappie in this region tend to be of decent size, with many fish reaching 10-12 inches. Focus on fishing near structure and varying your depth until you find the fish. Early morning and late afternoon are usually the most productive times.
