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 after Crappie near Pennington, New Jersey, consider exploring the backwaters and coves of the Delaware River. While the main river current can be challenging, the calmer, sheltered areas offer excellent crappie habitat. Look for submerged trees, brush piles, and docks, as crappie often congregate around these structures. Spring is the peak season for crappie fishing, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie tubes are highly effective. A slip bobber rig is a great way to present your bait at the desired depth. Access to the Delaware River is available at several boat ramps and parks along the riverfront. Be aware of the river's current and potential navigational hazards, especially if fishing from a boat. The crappie in this area typically range from 8-12 inches, offering a tasty meal. Keep an eye on the weather forecast, as river conditions can change rapidly.
