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 Interlaken, New Jersey, provides a thrilling freshwater angling experience. Deal Lake, with its abundant weed beds and varied structure, is a known pike habitat. These ambush predators thrive in the weedy shallows and around submerged timber. Early spring, just after ice-out, is prime time as pike are actively feeding after the winter months. Fall is another excellent period as they fatten up before winter. Larger lures, such as swimbaits, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits, are effective for attracting their attention. Steel leaders are essential to prevent bite-offs, given the pike's sharp teeth. A local tip: Focus on areas where feeder creeks enter the lake, as these often attract baitfish and, consequently, pike. Be aware that pike can be sensitive to fishing pressure, so varying your presentation and using fluorocarbon leaders in clearer water can improve your success. While not known for trophy-sized pike, Interlaken offers a decent population of these aggressive predators.
