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
Northern pike fishing near Harrison, NJ, is a hidden gem, with the Passaic River offering a surprising habitat for these ambush predators. While not abundant, pike are present, offering a thrilling challenge for anglers. Focus your efforts in areas with dense vegetation, submerged timber, and backwater sloughs where pike can lie in wait for prey. Spring and fall are the most productive times, as pike become more active in cooler water temperatures. Large lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and swimbaits are effective for targeting pike. Using a wire leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. Access can be limited, so explore public access points along the river and its tributaries. Kayak fishing can be a great way to reach secluded areas. Local tip: Pay attention to water clarity, as pike prefer clearer water for hunting. Early morning and late evening hours are often the most productive. Remember to handle pike with care, as they have sharp teeth and can be easily injured.
