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
Northern pike fishing near Tenafly can be a thrilling experience, particularly in the waterways connected to the Hackensack River watershed. While not as abundant as other species, pike are present and can reach impressive sizes. Early spring, just after ice-out, and late fall are the best times to target them, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Look for pike in areas with submerged vegetation, creek mouths, and around fallen trees. Using large lures or dead bait under a bobber can be effective. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Access can be limited, but exploring the smaller tributaries and backwaters of the Hackensack may reveal hidden pike haunts. Be prepared for a fight, as these fish are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Always check local regulations regarding size and bag limits for pike.
