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
While not as common as largemouth bass, targeting northern pike near Laurel Springs can offer a thrilling change of pace. Check out the deeper sections of the Cooper River or some of the larger ponds in the region; these areas hold the best potential. Early spring, just after ice-out (if any), and late fall are your best bets. Pike are ambush predators, so focus on areas with submerged structure, weed edges, and drop-offs. Use large lures like swimbaits, spoons, or jerkbaits to entice strikes. A steel leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. Be aware that pike populations can be localized, so doing some scouting or talking to local anglers can significantly improve your chances of success. Note that pike prefer cooler water so target deeper areas during the hotter months.
