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 in Medford Lakes offers a unique angling experience within a network of pristine, interconnected freshwater lakes. These tea-colored waters, stained by tannins from the surrounding cedar swamps, provide excellent ambush points for these predatory fish. The best time to pursue pike here is during the cooler months, particularly spring (post-spawn) and fall when water temperatures drop. Pike become more active as they prepare for winter or recover from spawning. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, fallen timber, and points where channels connect different lake sections. A local tip: use weedless lures or rigs, as the abundant vegetation can quickly snag your line. Also, be mindful of the shallow depths in some areas; a kayak or canoe can be advantageous for accessing prime pike habitat. The pike in Medford Lakes aren't generally giants, but a good day can produce multiple fish in the 2-5 pound range, offering thrilling action in a beautiful setting.
