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
Ship Bottom, New Jersey, is a fantastic location to target flounder, especially in Barnegat Bay. These flatfish are a popular target for anglers of all skill levels. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the prime time to fish for flounder here. They tend to congregate in areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, often near channels and inlets. Drifting with a fluke rig baited with squid, minnows, or sand eels is a proven method. Remember to use enough weight to keep your bait near the bottom. Access to Barnegat Bay is excellent, with numerous boat ramps and marinas in the area. A local tip: try chumming with clam or bunker to attract flounder to your fishing spot. Also, pay attention to the tide; flounder fishing is often best during periods of moving water.
