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.

King Mackerel
While not as well-known as more southern locales, Beachwood, NJ, offers surprisingly good opportunities for King Mackerel fishing. These speedsters migrate up the coast during the warmer months, typically arriving in the area from late July through September. The key is to target areas with structure and baitfish concentrations in Barnegat Bay or just offshore in the Atlantic. Trolling live bait like bunker or bluefish along the 20-40 foot contour lines is a productive method. The Barnegat Inlet can be a hotspot as kings stage there to ambush bait. Remember that kings are fast and toothy, so use wire leaders and sturdy tackle. The local marinas offer charter services for anglers unfamiliar with the area. Pay attention to water temperature reports; kings prefer water temperatures above 70 degrees.
