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 looking to target Crappie near South River, New Jersey, your best bet is to explore the various ponds and lakes in the surrounding Middlesex County. Farrington Lake, not too far from South River, is a popular spot known to hold a decent crappie population. The shallow, weedy areas and submerged structure are prime locations to find them. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the absolute best time to target crappie, as they move into the shallows to reproduce. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are highly effective. A local tip: focus on areas near submerged brush piles or fallen trees. Many anglers have success suspending their baits under a bobber at varying depths to locate the fish. Keep an eye on water clarity, as crappie prefer slightly stained water. The crappie in this area tend to average 8-12 inches, making for some fun light-tackle action.
