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 in Bay Head centers around the back bays and channels connected to Barnegat Bay. These flatfish are a popular target for anglers of all skill levels. The best time to target flounder here is during the spring and fall months as they migrate inshore and offshore. Focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near channels, docks, and bridges. Drifting with a bottom rig baited with squid, clams, or killifish is a proven technique. A common local tip is to use a chum bag filled with ground clams or bunker to attract flounder to your fishing area. The waters around the Mantoloking Bridge can be particularly productive. Flounder in this area tend to be relatively small, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers. Be mindful of the tide, as flounder often feed more actively during periods of moving water. Also, be sure to check the current regulations for size and bag limits before heading out.
