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
If you're chasing Northern Pike in Lodi, New Jersey, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Passaic River and its connected waterways. While not known as a pike hotspot, the Passaic does hold a population of these ambush predators, especially in areas with submerged vegetation and slow-moving currents. Spring and fall are prime times, as pike become more active with cooler water temperatures. Early morning and late afternoon are generally the most productive times of day. A practical tip for fishing the Passaic near Lodi is to access the river from some of the local parks; be mindful of posted regulations regarding fishing. Also, be prepared for stained water conditions, which are typical for this river system. Use lures that create vibration and flash to attract the pike's attention. The pike in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations.
