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 Tinton Falls, NJ, is centered around the larger freshwater bodies like the Swimming River Reservoir and some of the larger ponds in the area. These fish thrive in weedy, shallow areas, ambushing prey. Spring and early summer, right after the spawn, and again in the fall as water temperatures cool, are the most productive times. The Swimming River Reservoir has a public boat launch, but check local regulations regarding boat size and motor restrictions. Pike in this region aren't typically giants, but fish in the 5-8 pound range are definitely possible. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and swimbaits worked along weed lines are effective. Live bait, such as shiners, can also be very productive. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have very sharp teeth. Be prepared for aggressive strikes and exciting battles when targeting these apex predators.
