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 looking for Rainbow Trout in northern New Jersey, the area around Franklin offers some decent options, though it's not as renowned as some other parts of the state. The Pequest River, a bit west of Franklin, is a popular spot known for its trout stocking and natural reproduction. Spring and fall are the prime times to target rainbows here, as the water temperatures are more conducive to their activity. Early mornings and late evenings often produce the best results. For anglers in Franklin, Lake Musconetcong also receives trout stockings and can provide opportunities. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity after rainfall, as the Pequest can become muddy quickly. Using attractor patterns like Woolly Buggers or brightly colored nymphs can help in stained water. Remember to check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for stocking schedules, license requirements, and any specific regulations for the waterways you plan to fish. The rainbows in this area tend to be a mix of stocked and holdover fish, so expect a range of sizes and some potentially wily individuals.
