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 not a hotspot, targeting northern pike near Chesilhurst, NJ, is possible in some of the larger lakes and rivers in the region. The Mullica River system and some of the larger lakes in the Pine Barrens offer the best chances. Look for weedy areas, submerged timber, and areas where smaller baitfish congregate. Pike fishing is typically best in the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. In the spring, they'll be in shallower areas spawning, while in the fall they'll be actively feeding to prepare for winter. Use large lures like swimbaits, crankbaits, or spinnerbaits. Steel leaders are essential to prevent bite-offs. Access can be limited in some areas, so research boat ramps and public access points beforehand. Be aware that the pike population isn't as dense as in more northern locations, so patience and persistence are key. The fish you do catch, however, can be quite sizable.
