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 Deal, New Jersey, isn't exactly a trout mecca, determined anglers can find stocked rainbow trout in some of the local freshwater streams and ponds. The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife stocks several locations in Monmouth County each spring and fall. These stockings provide a great opportunity to catch rainbows, especially for beginner anglers. Check the NJ Fish and Wildlife website for the stocking schedule and locations nearest to Deal. Early spring (March-April) and fall (October-November) are the prime times, coinciding with the stocking periods. Small spinners, PowerBait, and live worms are effective baits. A crucial tip for success is to fish early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as trout tend to be more active during these cooler periods. Also, be aware that many of these streams are small and can be easily spooked, so approach quietly and use light line. The stocked rainbows typically range from 10-14 inches, offering a fun fight on light tackle.
