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 enthusiasts around Northfield, New Jersey, will find promising opportunities in the area's freshwater bodies. While no single location dominates, the smaller lakes and ponds within a reasonable drive hold populations of crappie worth exploring. Consider Lake Lenape in nearby Mays Landing, or some of the smaller impoundments within the Pinelands region. Spring is the prime time for crappie fishing as they move into shallow waters to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs tipped with live minnows are a classic and effective crappie presentation. A local tip: use a bobber to suspend your jig at the right depth, especially when fishing around structure. Access to many of these locations can be limited to shore fishing, so be prepared to walk a bit. The crappie in this region can range in size, with some reaching respectable sizes, making for a rewarding fishing experience.
