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 chasing crappie near Ridgefield, New Jersey, the tidal waters of the Hackensack River offer some surprisingly good opportunities. While not a crappie fishing mecca, the backwaters and tributaries connected to the river provide the slow-moving, structure-rich environments these panfish prefer. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallower areas to spawn. Look for submerged timber, bridge pilings, and weed edges. Small jigs under a bobber are a classic crappie presentation, but minnows can also be very effective. Access can be a bit limited, but Overpeck County Park offers shoreline access and boat ramps onto Overpeck Creek, which connects to the Hackensack. Be aware of the tides, as they can significantly impact water levels and current. The crappie here aren't known for their size, so focus on quantity and enjoy a relaxing day on the water. Be sure to check the NJDEP website for the latest fishing regulations.
