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 Spring Lake Heights is best known for its beautiful shoreline, don't overlook the freshwater opportunities for Northern Pike in nearby waterways. The Shark River, and especially its impoundments, can hold some surprisingly large pike. Spring and early fall are prime times, as the pike are most active during these cooler periods. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation and structure, as pike are ambush predators. A local tip: Many anglers find success using large, flashy lures or live bait like shiners. Be aware that access to some areas may require a small boat or kayak, and always check current regulations regarding size and bag limits for pike in New Jersey. The pike population isn't huge, but the chance to hook a trophy-sized fish makes it a worthwhile pursuit.
