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 fishing near South Amboy might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but the backwaters and slower-moving tributaries of the Raritan River and Cheesequake Creek hold surprisingly good populations of these panfish. Target areas with submerged structure like fallen trees, brush piles, and docks. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallow water to spawn. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are highly effective. A slip bobber rig can help you present your bait at the right depth. Look for access points along Cheesequake State Park, but be prepared for a bit of a walk to reach some of the more secluded fishing spots. The crappie in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but they're plentiful and offer a fun, relaxing fishing experience. Pay attention to water clarity, as crappie prefer clearer water. Cloudy water after a rain can shut down the bite.
