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 Summit, New Jersey, might not be the first place that comes to mind for pike fishing, there are limited opportunities within a reasonable drive. Some of the larger reservoirs and lakes in northern New Jersey, located within an hour or so of Summit, do hold populations of northern pike. These include places like the Monksville Reservoir or Lake Hopatcong. Spring, after the ice melts, and fall, as the water cools, are the best times to target pike. Use large lures like swimbaits, crankbaits, or spinnerbaits, and focus on areas with weed beds or submerged structure. A local suggestion: check fishing reports and online forums for recent pike activity in these reservoirs. Pike in these waters can reach decent sizes, providing a good challenge for anglers. Be sure to check specific regulations for each body of water, as they may vary. Boat access is available at most of the larger reservoirs, but be prepared for potential crowds, especially on weekends.
