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
Looking to tangle with Northern Pike near Oradell? The Oradell Reservoir (Lake Tappan) is your best bet. While not a trophy pike fishery, it holds a population of these toothy predators that can provide some exciting action, especially during the colder months. Pike become more active in cooler water, so target them in late fall, winter (if ice fishing is permitted and safe), and early spring. Look for them near weed edges, submerged timber, and areas where baitfish congregate. Large lures like swimbaits, crankbaits, and spoons are effective, as are dead bait presentations. Always use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Access to Lake Tappan requires a permit from United Water, and regulations regarding boat size and motor restrictions are in place. Pike in Lake Tappan are generally opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lures and retrieve speeds. Be prepared for some explosive strikes!
