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 Chatham, NJ, isn't a renowned trout destination, the state does stock some local waterways with Rainbow Trout, offering a seasonal opportunity for anglers. Check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife stocking schedules to pinpoint when and where trout are being released. The Passaic River and some of its tributaries are often stocked. Spring is the prime time, immediately following stocking, but the fish can linger if water temperatures remain cool. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or mealworms are effective. Fly fishing can also be productive, particularly with nymph patterns. Access to these streams is generally good, but be mindful of private property and respect the local environment. The trout tend to be recently stocked fish, so they aren't always the most challenging to catch, but they provide a great opportunity to introduce beginners to trout fishing. Be sure to have a valid New Jersey fishing license and trout stamp.
