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 Morristown, NJ, requires a bit of exploration, but it can be rewarding. While not as abundant as in other regions, pike can be found in larger bodies of water like Lake Hopatcong (a bit of a drive, but worth it) and certain sections of the Passaic River. Early spring, just after ice-out, and fall, as the water cools, are typically the best times to fish for them. Look for weedy areas, shallow bays, and creek mouths where pike ambush their prey. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures. Using a wire leader is essential to prevent bite-offs. Launching a boat at Lake Hopatcong State Park provides excellent access to the lake's productive pike waters. Be aware of the lake's size; it can get choppy, so check the weather forecast before heading out. The pike in these waters can reach impressive sizes, with some exceeding 10 pounds.
