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 as abundant as other species, Northern Pike can be found in the Delaware River near Stockton, NJ. Targeting these predators requires patience and the right approach. Pike prefer cooler water, making spring and fall the most productive seasons. Look for them in areas with dense vegetation, submerged timber, or along rocky shorelines where they can ambush prey. Large spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and swimbaits are effective lures for covering water and attracting strikes. Dead bait, such as herring or mackerel, can also be productive, especially when fished near the bottom. Access to the river is available at Bulls Island Recreation Area and other public access points. A local tip: Pike often hold near current breaks, so focus your efforts on areas where the water slows down. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth.
