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
Targeting Northern Pike near Wildwood Crest requires a bit of a drive inland, as they aren't found in the immediate vicinity. However, several freshwater lakes and reservoirs within an hour's drive hold populations of these aggressive predators. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with pike becoming more active in cooler water. Focus your efforts around submerged vegetation, weed lines, and areas with structure like fallen trees. A local's trick is to use large swimbaits or crankbaits that mimic the local forage fish. Be sure to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have razor-sharp teeth. Check the regulations for each specific lake or reservoir you plan to fish, as they may have specific rules regarding size limits, gear restrictions, or boat launch permits.
