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 a northern pike hotspot, targeting them near Madison, NJ, can offer a unique challenge. The best bet is to head to larger reservoirs and lakes within a reasonable driving distance – places where pike have been stocked or have naturally established populations. Early spring, just after ice-out (if applicable), and late fall are typically the most productive times as the water cools and pike become more active. For a practical tip, consult local fishing reports to pinpoint specific lakes known for pike activity. Also, be prepared for some weeds; pike love to ambush prey from cover. Bring weedless lures and be ready to fish them effectively. Pike in this region aren't generally giants, but a 30-inch fish is certainly possible. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.
