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 Jersey City isn't exactly a trout mecca, determined anglers can find stocked rainbow trout in some of the nearby freshwater streams and lakes within an hour's drive. These stockings are typically done in the spring and fall, so timing your trip around those periods is key. The Pequest River Trout Hatchery and Natural Resource Education Center is a good starting point for researching stocking locations. When targeting these stocked trout, consider using small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms or mealworms. Fly fishing can also be effective, especially with nymph patterns. Remember to check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific size and creel limits. A local tip: early morning or late afternoon are often the best times to fish, as the trout tend to be more active during cooler periods. Be aware that water clarity can vary depending on recent rainfall, so adjust your lure selection accordingly.
