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.

Flounder
Flounder fishing near Asbury Park revolves around the relatively shallow, brackish waters of the Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers, as well as the Sandy Hook Bay. Spring and early summer are prime times, as flounder migrate into these areas to feed and spawn. Look for muddy or silty bottoms, as these areas tend to hold more of the small crustaceans and worms that flounder love. A simple bottom rig baited with sandworms or clams is a classic and effective presentation. Drifting is a good way to cover ground and locate concentrations of fish. A local angler's trick is to add a small colored bead or spinner blade above your hook to attract attention in murky water. Be aware that flounder fishing can be tide-dependent, with the best action often occurring during slower currents. Also, pay attention to water clarity; clearer water generally leads to better fishing. Flounder populations in NJ have fluctuated, so checking the current regulations before you go is always a good idea.
