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
While Spotswood, NJ, isn't necessarily known as a trout hotspot, the state does stock some local waterways with rainbow trout, particularly in the spring. Check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's stocking schedule to find the most recently stocked locations near Spotswood. Millstone River is often stocked and worth a look. Early spring, immediately after stocking, offers the best chance of success. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or mealworms are effective for catching these stocked trout. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as pools and riffles. A practical tip is to use light line and small hooks, as these trout can be line-shy. Also, be prepared to move around, as the trout tend to congregate in certain areas after being stocked. Keep in mind that water temperatures can rise quickly in the summer, making trout fishing less productive. Always check the current fishing regulations for creel limits and gear restrictions.
