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 Highland Park isn't a renowned trout destination, determined anglers can find rainbow trout in the nearby streams. The Millstone River, and some of its tributaries further upstream, are stocked annually by the state. Spring is the best time to target these stocked rainbows, shortly after stocking occurs. Look for deeper pools and runs, especially those with overhanging vegetation, as these provide cover for the trout. Small spinners, worms, and PowerBait are effective baits. Access can be found at various points along the Millstone River, including some parks and bridges. Be sure to check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for stocking schedules and regulations. Keep in mind that water temperatures rise in the summer, making trout fishing less productive. Consider fishing early in the morning or later in the evening during warmer months. Also, be aware of private property boundaries when accessing streams.
