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
While not a premier pike destination, Mount Ephraim, NJ, offers limited opportunities to target northern pike in the local waterways. Newton Creek, with its weedy backwaters and slow-moving sections, can occasionally hold pike, especially during the cooler months. Spring (March-April) and fall (October-November) are the best times to target them, as they become more active in cooler water. Focus on areas with dense vegetation, fallen trees, or other structure that pike use as ambush points. A local tip: larger swimbaits or crankbaits retrieved slowly near cover can be effective. Another tip: Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. The pike in this area are not particularly large, with most fish averaging between 2 and 5 pounds, but they can still provide a thrilling fight. Be aware that pike may be less common than other species, so be prepared to target other fish if necessary. Always check local fishing regulations for any specific restrictions on pike fishing.
