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 anglers in the Oradell, NJ area should definitely consider exploring the Oradell Reservoir (Lake Tappan). This body of water offers a surprisingly good crappie fishery, particularly in the spring when they move shallow to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, fallen trees, and docks in the coves. Small jigs under a bobber are a classic and effective technique. Minnows can also be productive. Fall is another great time to target crappie as they school up before winter. Pay attention to water temperature and clarity, as these factors will influence where the fish are holding. Access to Lake Tappan is managed by United Water, and permits are required, so be sure to check their website for the latest regulations. The crappie in Lake Tappan tend to be decent sized, and it's a great place to introduce kids to fishing.
