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 Lavallette, NJ, centers around the shallow waters of Barnegat Bay. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, so a slow, deliberate presentation is key. The best time to target flounder is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they move into the bay to feed. Focus on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, especially near channels, docks, and bridges. A simple fluke rig with a small bucktail jig tipped with squid or a spearing is a classic choice. Drifting or anchoring and slowly jigging the bait along the bottom is a proven technique. Pay attention to the water temperature; flounder become less active in colder water. A local tip is to try chumming with crushed clams or mussels to attract flounder to your area. The bay near the Route 35 bridge is a popular spot, offering easy access and consistent flounder action.
