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 close to Plainfield presents a few options, primarily involving stocked streams and rivers. The South Branch Raritan River, a short drive from Plainfield, is a popular choice, particularly after stocking events. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, coinciding with stocking schedules. Check the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for stocking dates and locations. A local tip is to focus on areas with good current and cover, such as undercut banks and submerged logs. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait (worms or mealworms) are effective choices. Also, be aware that some sections of the South Branch Raritan are designated as trout conservation areas with specific regulations, so be sure to review the regulations before fishing. While holdover trout (those that survive beyond the stocking season) are present, most of the rainbows you'll encounter will be recently stocked fish.
