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.

Northern Pike
While perhaps not as well-known as other pike destinations, Absecon, NJ offers a chance to tangle with northern pike in its freshwater systems. The creeks and rivers that flow into Absecon Bay can hold some surprisingly large pike. Look for them in areas with dense vegetation, such as weed beds and submerged timber, where they lie in wait for prey. Spring is an excellent time to target pike, as they are often found in shallower water after spawning. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lure choices. Live bait, such as shiners, can also be productive. The Mullica River, easily accessible from several points near Absecon, can be a good starting point. Remember to use a steel leader to prevent pike from biting through your line. Always consult the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife regulations for size and bag limits on pike.
