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 Jamesburg, New Jersey, isn't widely known as a trout hotspot, determined anglers can find stocked rainbow trout in a few select locations. The nearby Manasquan Reservoir, while primarily known for its bass fishing, receives seasonal trout stockings. Also, the Pequest River, a bit further north, is a more well-known trout stream that is easily accessible. These stockings typically occur in the spring and fall, so target those times for the best chances of success. Use small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms or mealworms. Fly fishing can also be effective, particularly with nymph patterns. A New Jersey fishing license with a trout stamp is required. A local tip is to check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife website for stocking schedules and reports. The trout stocked in these waters are typically in the 10-14 inch range, providing a fun opportunity to catch trout close to Jamesburg. Fishing pressure can be high immediately after stocking, so arriving early is recommended.
