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
Looking for Northern Pike near Lincoln Park? While not abundant, they can be found in the Passaic River and some of the larger lakes and reservoirs within a reasonable drive. The best times to target pike are during the spring, as the water warms, and again in the fall, as they prepare for winter. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, fallen trees, or other structures that provide cover. Large swimbaits, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are all effective lures. When fishing the Passaic River, pay attention to current breaks and eddies where pike might be ambushing prey. Be aware of potential snags and debris in the river. Consider using a wire leader to prevent bite-offs from the pike's sharp teeth. Public access to the river varies, so research specific locations and parking beforehand. Pike populations aren't huge here, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
