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 in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, can be a rewarding pursuit, particularly if you know where to look. While the lake itself holds crappie, consider exploring the smaller, quieter coves and backwaters. Spring is the prime time, as the crappie move shallow to spawn. Look for areas with submerged structure like fallen trees or docks. A local tip is to use small jigs under a bobber, fishing them slowly around the structure. Also, try fishing near the bridges and culverts that connect the lake to smaller tributaries. The crappie in Woodcliff Lake are known to be finicky, so experiment with different jig colors and depths. While you might not find trophy-sized crappie consistently, there are plenty of pan-sized fish to provide a delicious meal.
