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.

Rainbow Trout
While Carlstadt isn't renowned for its trout fishing, determined anglers can find Rainbow Trout opportunities within a reasonable drive. The Pequannock River, located further north and west, is a popular option that is stocked with rainbows. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, coinciding with stocking schedules and favorable water temperatures. Check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for stocking information. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or mealworms are effective. Fly fishing can also be productive, especially with nymph patterns. Be prepared for potentially crowded conditions, especially shortly after stocking. Remember to purchase a valid New Jersey fishing license and trout stamp. The trout in these stocked streams tend to be relatively naive shortly after release, but they quickly become more wary, so adjust your tactics accordingly. Also, be prepared for the water to be cold, especially early in the season.
