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
Point Pleasant, New Jersey, offers some excellent flounder fishing, particularly in the calmer waters of Barnegat Bay and the Manasquan River. The best time to target flounder is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. These fish are bottom dwellers, so focus your efforts on sandy or muddy bottoms near docks, bridges, and channels. A simple bottom rig baited with sandworms, clams, or squid is a classic and effective technique. Drift fishing with a chum pot can also attract flounder to your area. Water clarity is key for successful flounder fishing, so pay attention to weather conditions and avoid fishing after heavy rains. There are several public access points along the Manasquan River, including the Fisherman's Cove Conservation Area. Remember to use light tackle and a sensitive rod to detect the subtle bites of these finicky feeders. Local knowledge about where to find the most productive mud flats can significantly improve your chances of success.
