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
Spotswood, NJ, has some decent crappie fishing opportunities in local lakes and ponds. Manalapan Lake is a popular choice known to hold crappie. Spring is prime time, particularly during the pre-spawn and spawn when crappie move into shallow water to reproduce. They also school up in the fall as the water cools. Target areas around submerged structure, such as brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs, minnows, and tube baits are effective lures. A local trick is to suspend your bait under a bobber at varying depths until you find where the crappie are holding. Crappie in this area tend to be good size, especially in the spring. Be aware that the crappie can be finicky, so experiment with different colors and presentations until you find what they're biting on. Also, be mindful of the regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions.
