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 Tavistock, NJ, offers a chance to target these panfish in some of the area's smaller, less-known lakes and ponds. Look for crappie around submerged structure like fallen trees, docks, and weed beds. Spring is the ideal time to fish, as crappie congregate in shallow waters to spawn. Use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber to entice bites. Summer evenings can also be productive, especially around lights that attract insects and baitfish. A practical piece of advice: the smaller ponds often warm up faster in the spring, making them hotspots earlier in the season. Access can be limited in some areas, so research public access points beforehand. Don't overlook the tidal creeks and backwaters of the nearby Cooper River; though less common, crappie can sometimes be found in these brackish environments. The crappie in these smaller waters tend to be average in size, but persistence can reward you with a decent stringer.
