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 a renowned pike destination, the waterways around Vineland, NJ, do hold some northern pike, offering a fun change of pace for local anglers. Union Lake is likely your best bet. Pike tend to hang out in weedy areas and near submerged timber, ambushing prey. Early spring, just after ice-out (if we get a hard freeze), is a prime time, as the pike are actively feeding after the winter. Large spinnerbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are all effective lures. If you're targeting pike from the bank, focus on areas where you can cast towards weed lines or other structure. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. The pike population isn't huge, so be prepared to put in some time to find them, but a successful catch can be a real thrill.
