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
Rainbow Trout fishing around Franklin Lakes offers a few smaller, local options. While not a premier trout destination, there are still opportunities to be had. The Ramapo River, which flows nearby, receives trout stockings and can provide some action, particularly in the spring and fall. Smaller streams in the area may also hold trout, but they can be more challenging to fish. A good starting point is to check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's stocking schedules for the Ramapo. When fishing this river, focus on areas with riffles and pools, and use a variety of techniques such as drifting nymphs, casting small spinners, or even fly fishing. A local tip: Access to the Ramapo River can be limited in some areas, so be sure to check for public access points and respect private property. The trout in this area are primarily stocked, so they can be relatively naive at first, but they quickly become more wary after being pressured. Expect a mix of sizes, with some holdover fish from previous stockings.
