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 Eatontown, NJ, requires a bit of a drive, but the rewards can be worth it. While not abundant locally, some of the larger reservoirs and river systems within an hour's drive hold pike. The Manasquan River, for example, can offer opportunities. Look for areas with weedy cover, submerged timber, and creek mouths. Spring, just after ice-out (if applicable), and fall are the prime times to target pike. They're ambush predators, so focus on areas where they can hide and wait for prey. Large swimbaits, spoons, and jerkbaits are effective lure choices. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. Be aware that pike fishing in New Jersey can be challenging, so patience is key. It's also worth checking local fishing reports for the latest information on pike activity.
