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 Saddle River, NJ, focus your efforts on the deeper, slower-moving sections of the Saddle River itself, as well as the small ponds and reservoirs scattered throughout the area. These fish tend to congregate around submerged structure like fallen trees, docks, and bridge pilings. Spring and fall are prime times; crappie move shallow to spawn in the spring and then feed heavily before winter. A small jig tipped with a minnow or a crappie nibble is deadly. Local tip: The Saddle River County Park offers several access points along the river with decent bank fishing opportunities. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate after heavy rains, so check conditions before you head out. Saddle River crappie aren't known for their massive size, but what they lack in stature, they make up for in numbers, providing consistent action for anglers of all skill levels.
