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.

The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife regularly stocks several locations in the spring and fall, so check their website for the most up-to-date stocking schedules and locations closest to Carteret. Targeting these stocked trout is best done during the immediate weeks following a stocking. Small spinners, mealworms, and PowerBait are all effective. Consider fishing early in the morning or later in the evening when trout are more actively feeding.
