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
Looking to hook some rainbows in central New Jersey? The South River and its surrounding tributaries offer surprisingly good trout fishing, especially considering its proximity to urban areas. The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife stocks these waters regularly, primarily with rainbow trout, making it a reliable option for anglers of all skill levels. Spring and fall are prime times; the cooler water temperatures keep the trout active. Early morning and late afternoon are usually the most productive times of day. Access points can be found along the river, but be mindful of private property. A good starting point is the area around the Veterans Memorial Park, where there's easy access to the river. Wading can be tricky due to the river's depth and silty bottom in spots, so be cautious. Consider using small spinners, worms, or powerbait for the best results. These stocked trout aren't particularly picky, but presenting your bait naturally will increase your chances.
