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 West New York requires a short trip inland to find suitable freshwater habitats. While West New York itself lacks direct access to prime crappie waters, nearby locations like Overpeck Creek and certain sections of the Hackensack River can be productive. Overpeck County Park, with its large lake, is a popular choice. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallower areas to spawn. Look for them around submerged structures such as brush piles and docks. Small jigs and minnows are effective baits. A local tip: try fishing near the Route 9 bridge over Overpeck Creek, as the pilings often hold crappie. The crappie in this area tend to be relatively small, but they can be plentiful. Be mindful of the tides in the Hackensack River, as they can influence water levels and fish activity. Also, check for any park-specific regulations or restrictions before heading out.
