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
Northern pike fishing near Montvale, NJ, can be a rewarding experience in the right locations. Lake Tappan, a large reservoir close by, is known to hold pike, though they can be elusive. These predators prefer cooler water and ambush points, so focus on areas with weed beds, drop-offs, and submerged timber. Early spring and late fall are generally the best times to target pike, as they are more active in cooler temperatures. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Live bait, such as large shiners, can also be productive. A wire leader is essential to prevent pike from biting through your line. Be aware that pike fishing in Lake Tappan requires some patience and persistence. A local tip: trolling along the edges of weed beds can be an effective way to cover water and locate active fish. Check local regulations regarding size limits and any restrictions on the use of live bait.
