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.

Seasonal Activity Chart
Flounder
Flounder fishing around Ocean Gate offers a classic inshore experience. The key here is understanding the seasonal movements of these flatfish. They tend to move into the bay in the spring as the water warms, seeking out shallow, muddy or sandy bottoms. Barnegat Bay is ideal, especially near grassy areas and channels. Drifting with a simple fluke rig baited with squid or sandworms is a go-to technique. Focus on areas with subtle depth changes, as flounder often lie in ambush. The bite can be subtle, so pay close attention to your line. Local insight: the area around Tices Shoal is a known flounder haven. Be mindful of the boat traffic, especially on weekends.
