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
Rainbow trout fishing near Park Ridge, NJ, requires a bit of a journey to find reliably stocked waters. The Pequannock River, a bit west of Park Ridge, is a popular option and receives regular stockings from the state. The Ramapo River further north is another possibility. Spring is the peak season, coinciding with the state's stocking programs. Check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife website for the latest stocking schedules. Fly fishing and spin fishing are both effective; small spinners, spoons, and trout magnets work well for spin anglers, while classic trout flies like nymphs and dry flies are good choices for fly fishermen. Be aware that some sections may have special regulations, such as catch-and-release only or gear restrictions. Access points along the Pequannock can be found off Route 23, but be prepared for some walking to reach the better fishing spots. The trout here are primarily stockies, but they can provide a fun and accessible fishing experience.
