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 chasing crappie in the Spring Lake, NJ area, you'll primarily be targeting them in the local freshwater ponds and lakes. While Spring Lake itself is a beautiful spot, it's a saltwater lake, so crappie aren't found there. Look to nearby freshwater bodies like Deal Lake, or even some of the smaller, less-publicized ponds scattered throughout Monmouth County. Spring and fall are your prime times. As the water warms in the spring, crappie move into shallower areas to spawn, making them easier to target. Fall sees them feeding heavily before winter. A small jig under a bobber is a classic crappie presentation, but don't overlook live minnows. A local tip: many of these ponds have limited access, so scout out public access points beforehand, and be respectful of private property. Also, be aware that some smaller ponds can get weedy in the summer, so adjust your tactics accordingly.
