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 Spring Lake itself may not be a prime trout fishery, nearby lakes and streams that are stocked by the state offer opportunities to catch rainbow trout. The Manasquan Reservoir, a short drive west, is a popular stocking location, and some smaller ponds in Monmouth County parks also receive trout stockings. Spring and fall are the best times to target rainbows, particularly shortly after a stocking. Check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's website for stocking schedules. PowerBait, small spinners, and worms are all effective baits. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers can also be productive. Rainbows in these waters tend to be relatively small to medium-sized, but they are aggressive and fun to catch. Be aware of creel limits and size restrictions. Access to the Manasquan Reservoir is generally good, with boat rentals available. Remember that a valid New Jersey fishing license is required, and a trout stamp is necessary if you intend to keep any trout. Early morning and late afternoon are often the most productive times, especially during warmer weather.
