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 targeting crappie in Ridgefield Park, NJ, you'll want to focus on the local waterways like the Hackensack River and Overpeck Creek. These freshwater systems offer the ideal habitat for crappie, with plenty of submerged structure and vegetation. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallower waters to spawn. Early mornings and late afternoons are particularly productive. A small jig tipped with a minnow or a tube bait fished under a bobber near docks, fallen trees, or weed edges is a reliable tactic. Overpeck County Park offers good bank access and several fishing platforms. Be aware that boat traffic can be heavy on the Hackensack, especially on weekends, so plan accordingly. The crappie here aren't giants, but you can find some decent keepers mixed in with the smaller ones. Remember to check the current NJ fishing regulations for size and creel limits before heading out.
