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.

Seasonal Activity Chart
Northern Pike
Northern pike fishing in the Phillipsburg area centers around the Delaware River and its connected waterways. While not as abundant as other species, dedicated anglers can find success targeting pike here. Early spring and late fall are the prime times, as the fish are more active in cooler water temperatures. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged vegetation, fallen trees, and backwater sloughs. A great local tip is to fish the slower-moving sections of the Delaware River near tributary mouths. These areas often hold baitfish, which attract pike. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and swimbaits are effective lures, but don't be afraid to use live bait such as shiners or suckers. Because pike have sharp teeth, always use a wire leader to prevent them from cutting your line. The pike population in the Delaware River is supported by natural reproduction and occasional stocking, so practicing catch and release is encouraged to help maintain the fishery.
