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 Penns Grove requires a bit of travel, as the immediate area isn't prime trout habitat. However, several streams and rivers in the surrounding counties are stocked with trout in the spring and fall. The Pequest River Trout Hatchery is a good starting point to identify nearby stocked waters. Check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for stocking schedules and locations. Spring is the most popular time to fish for trout, as newly stocked fish are eager to bite. However, fall can also be productive, especially after the crowds have thinned out. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms and mealworms are effective. A local tip is to fish early in the morning or late in the evening, especially during warmer months, as trout seek cooler water. The size of trout stocked is generally in the 9-12 inch range, but holdover fish can reach larger sizes. Be sure to check the specific regulations for each stream, as some may have catch-and-release only sections or gear restrictions.
