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 Hillsdale, NJ, you'll want to explore the nearby Ramapo River and its tributaries. These waters, stocked by the state, offer decent opportunities, especially during the spring and fall stocking seasons. The trout tend to be concentrated immediately after stocking, but those that hold over can be surprisingly wary. Early spring (March-April) and late fall (October-November) generally provide the most consistent action, with cooler water temperatures keeping the trout active. Access to the Ramapo can be found at various points along its course, including several parks and roadside pull-offs. Be aware that the river can be rocky and wading can be challenging in places. A local tip: try drifting small nymphs or using inline spinners in the deeper pools. Also, check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife stocking schedules online before you go to maximize your chances.
