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
Pike fishing near Hoboken requires a bit of a trek, but the rewards can be substantial. While the immediate waters around Hoboken are primarily saltwater, heading west towards the Delaware River watershed opens up opportunities for northern pike. Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey's largest lake, is a known pike hotspot, about an hour's drive from Hoboken. Early spring, just after ice-out, and late fall are prime times. Look for pike in weedy bays and near submerged structure. A key local tip: use large, flashy lures or live bait fished under a bobber. Pike in Lake Hopatcong can reach impressive sizes, and the lake's diverse structure provides plenty of ambush points. Be aware of boating regulations and consider launching from one of the public boat ramps around the lake. The pike fishing here can be quite good for a day trip from Hoboken.
