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
For Rainbow Trout near Lambertville, the focus should be on the Delaware River and its tributaries. While the Delaware isn't primarily known for trout, it receives stockings in certain sections, particularly upstream from Lambertville. The smaller, colder tributaries, like the Lockatong Creek, offer more consistent trout fishing opportunities. Spring and fall are ideal times to target these waters, coinciding with stocking schedules and cooler water temperatures. When fishing the Delaware, look for deeper pools and runs, especially near structure. In the tributaries, focus on riffles and pools. A local tip: use small spinners or nymph patterns when fishing the tributaries. For the Delaware, consider larger streamers or spoons. Access to the Delaware River is relatively easy via several parks and boat ramps. However, access to the tributaries can be more limited, requiring some exploration. The trout here are primarily stocked, so expect them to be relatively naive to angling pressure shortly after stocking.
