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
For anglers seeking the thrill of hooking into a toothy predator, northern pike fishing near Newton, NJ, can be a rewarding experience. While not every lake holds pike, a few select locations offer a chance to tangle with these ambush predators. Swartswood Lake is one such location. Spring and early summer, after the ice melts, are excellent times to target pike as they are actively feeding after the spawn. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are effective lures, especially those with bright colors or patterns that mimic local baitfish. A practical tip: always use a wire leader when fishing for pike, as their sharp teeth can easily sever monofilament or fluorocarbon line. Focus your efforts around weed beds, submerged timber, and drop-offs, as these areas provide cover for pike to ambush their prey. Be prepared for a strong fight, as pike are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Remember to handle pike carefully to avoid injury to yourself and the fish, using long-nosed pliers to remove hooks.
