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 not a renowned trout destination, Clayton, NJ, does participate in the state's trout stocking program. The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife stocks select ponds and streams in the area with Rainbow Trout, creating a seasonal opportunity for anglers. The key is to target these waters shortly after a stocking, which typically occurs in the spring and fall. Check the official NJ Fish and Wildlife website for the latest stocking schedules. Small spinners, worms, and trout magnets are effective baits. Focus on areas near inlets, outlets, and deeper pools. A local tip is to arrive early, as popular stocking locations can get crowded quickly. Also, be aware that water clarity can vary, so adjust your lure presentation accordingly. Don't forget your valid NJ fishing license and familiarize yourself with all applicable regulations.
