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
If you're targeting Northern Pike in the Wrightstown, New Jersey area, you'll want to focus your attention on the freshwater systems that snake through the Pine Barrens. The Rancocas Creek, particularly the North Branch, holds a decent population of these ambush predators. What makes this area unique is the tea-colored water, stained by tannins from the cedar swamps – pike are well-adapted to these conditions. Spring and fall are prime times, as the pike become more active with the cooler water temperatures. Early mornings and late afternoons are best. A local tip: Pay close attention to structure like submerged logs and weed edges, as pike love to lie in wait. Public access can be limited, so research access points along the creek beforehand. Be aware that the water levels can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall, impacting your ability to navigate some stretches.
