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
Targeting Northern Pike near Buena, NJ, requires a bit of exploration, but the effort can pay off with some exciting catches. Focus your attention on the larger, weedy lakes and slow-moving rivers in the area. Pike prefer cooler water, making spring and fall the most productive seasons. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and jerkbaits are effective lures for attracting these aggressive predators. A key tip for anglers in this region: target areas with thick vegetation, as pike often ambush their prey from these hiding spots. The water clarity can fluctuate, so adjust your lure colors accordingly. Brighter colors often work best in stained water. While not known for trophy-sized pike, the waters around Buena hold a decent population of smaller to mid-sized fish, offering plenty of action for anglers of all skill levels. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth.
