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 Ocean City, New Jersey, the back bays and inlets are where you want to be. These areas offer shallow, grassy flats and channels that provide ideal habitat for these flatfish. The best time to target flounder is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures rise and the flounder become more active. Drifting with a jig tipped with a piece of squid or a minnow is a productive technique. Local knowledge suggests focusing on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near structure, such as docks or bridge pilings. A key tip: Use light tackle to detect the subtle bites of flounder, and be patient, as they often nibble before fully committing. The flounder in these waters tend to be relatively shallow, making them accessible to both boat and shore anglers.
