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 near Midland Park, NJ, can be a rewarding experience if you know where to look. While not abundant, pike can be found in the larger bodies of water connected to the Passaic River watershed. Lake Tappan, though technically in New York, is close enough and a worthwhile option. These fish tend to like weedy areas and submerged structure. Late fall and early spring are peak seasons, as pike are ambush predators and prefer cooler water temperatures. As the water warms, they tend to retreat to deeper, cooler areas. A great tip is to use large lures or dead bait under a bobber near weed edges. Be sure to use a wire leader, as pike have sharp teeth. Another piece of advice: check the local regulations for size and bag limits, as they can vary depending on the specific body of water. Getting a big pike in North Jersey takes patience, but it's definitely possible.
