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
If you're after flounder in Bradley Beach, New Jersey, the key is understanding their habitat preferences and feeding habits. These flatfish are commonly found in the Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers, as well as the Raritan Bay, all within easy reach of Bradley Beach. The best time to target flounder is typically during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate. They prefer muddy or sandy bottoms, so focus your efforts in these areas. Effective baits include sandworms, clams, and mussels. A local tip: try drifting with your bait near channel edges or docks, where flounder often lie in ambush. Pay attention to tidal currents, as flounder tend to feed more actively during slack tide. The flounder population in this region can fluctuate, so check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information. A light tackle setup is ideal for detecting the subtle bites of these bottom-dwelling fish.
