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 Demarest, New Jersey, means exploring the diverse freshwater systems of Bergen County. While not as densely populated as in some northern states, pike can be found in the larger bodies of water connected to the Hackensack River watershed, such as Lake Tappan and Oradell Reservoir. Spring, just after ice-out, and fall, as water temperatures cool, are prime times to find these ambush predators actively feeding. Look for them near weed beds, submerged timber, and drop-offs. A practical tip is to access Lake Tappan via the public boat launch on the New York side; be aware of reciprocal licensing agreements. When fishing Oradell, focus on the areas near the dam and the deeper sections of the reservoir. Pike in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so large, flashy lures or live bait are effective. Be prepared for some weed cover and adjust your presentations accordingly.
