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
If you're chasing rainbow trout in Fair Haven, NJ, you'll want to focus on the local streams and rivers that are stocked throughout the year. While Fair Haven itself is coastal, nearby freshwater tributaries like the Manasquan River and its feeder creeks offer the best opportunities. Spring and fall are prime times, coinciding with stocking schedules and cooler water temperatures that encourage active feeding. Keep an eye on the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for stocking updates. A local tip: access points along the Manasquan River Environmental Center offer good bank fishing opportunities. Rainbows in this area are typically stocked, so don't expect trophy sizes, but they are a great option for a quick and accessible fishing trip. Light tackle and small spinners or flies are your best bet.
