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.

Targeting Northern Pike near Merchantville, NJ, means exploring the local waterways connected to the Delaware River. While Merchantville itself doesn't have major pike fisheries, the nearby Cooper River and its tributaries can hold some surprises. Look for pike in areas with submerged vegetation, fallen trees, and slower-moving water. Spring is prime time as pike move into shallower areas to spawn. Early morning and late afternoon are often productive. A key tip: focus your efforts around the Cooper River Park, where there's decent bank access and the chance to cast into promising-looking structure. Pike in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so try large swimbaits, spinnerbaits, or even dead bait under a bobber. Be prepared for some smaller fish, but the occasional lunker makes it worth the effort. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and possession limits.
