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 renowned pike destination, the Peapack and Gladstone area offers some surprisingly good opportunities for northern pike in the larger pools of the Raritan River, particularly the South Branch. Focus your efforts in areas with submerged vegetation or fallen timber, as these provide ambush points for these predators. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, can be particularly productive. Large spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and swimbaits are effective lures. A steel leader is a must, given their sharp teeth. A local tip: try fishing near the confluences of smaller streams with the main river, as these areas often hold pike waiting to ambush smaller fish. Access can be found along River Road, but be mindful of private property. The pike in this area are generally smaller, averaging 3-6 pounds, but larger specimens are occasionally caught, offering a thrilling surprise.
