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 in East Orange, New Jersey, requires a bit of exploration, but the rewards can be worthwhile. While not a renowned pike destination, the Passaic River and its connected waterways do hold a population of these ambush predators. Focus your efforts in areas with plenty of submerged vegetation, backwater sloughs, and near creek mouths where smaller baitfish congregate. Spring and fall offer the best pike fishing, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Early morning and late afternoon are prime times. Large spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and swimbaits are effective lures. Consider using a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Access to the river can be found through various parks and public lands along its banks. Be aware of the river's often murky conditions and adjust your lure presentation accordingly. Local tip: Focus on areas where the Passaic widens and slows down, as these spots often hold the most pike.
