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 near Hawthorne, NJ, you'll want to focus on the Passaic River, which receives stockings of trout throughout the spring. While not a classic trout stream, the Passaic offers opportunities to catch stocked rainbows, especially shortly after stocking events. Check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for stocking schedules. Spring is the best time to fish for trout here, as the water is cooler and the fish are more active. Small spinners, spoons, and bait such as worms or PowerBait are effective. Fly fishing can also be productive, using nymphs or small streamers. Access to the river is available at several points along its course, but be aware that some areas may be private property. Look for areas with deeper pools and riffles, as these are likely to hold trout. Keep in mind that the trout here are often heavily pressured, so using lighter line and presenting your bait or lure naturally can increase your chances of success. Also, be sure to familiarize yourself with the trout regulations for the Passaic River, including size and creel limits.
