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
Pike fishing near West Long Branch, NJ, requires a bit of travel, as they aren't as common as other species in the immediate area. However, a worthwhile trip would be to target them in the larger reservoirs and rivers further inland. The Manasquan Reservoir, while known more for its bass and crappie, does hold a population of northern pike. Early spring, just after ice-out (if any), and late fall are prime times to target them. Look for pike around weed edges, submerged timber, and points. Large swimbaits, spoons, and jerkbaits are effective. A steel leader is a must! Access to Manasquan Reservoir is available through designated boat ramps and shoreline fishing areas (check for permits and regulations). Be prepared for varying water levels, which can impact fish location. The pike in this area are generally opportunistic feeders and can reach impressive sizes.
