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
Finding Rainbow Trout near Newark, NJ requires a bit of travel, but it's certainly doable. The Pequannock River, located further north and west of Newark, is a popular stocked trout stream. The South Branch of the Raritan River, another well-known trout fishery, is also within a reasonable driving distance. Spring and fall are the prime stocking seasons, offering the best chance to catch these colorful fish. Check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for the most up-to-date stocking information. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or mealworms are all effective. A local tip: focus on areas with deeper pools and riffles, especially after stocking. These areas provide cover and hold trout. The trout stocked in these rivers are generally of a good size for a fun day of fishing. Remember to check the specific regulations for the river you choose, as some sections may have catch-and-release restrictions or gear limitations.
