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
If you're chasing rainbow trout near Wanaque, NJ, the Pequannock River and its tributaries offer some appealing options. These waterways are regularly stocked by the state, providing consistent opportunities for anglers. Spring and fall are the best times to fish, particularly after stocking. Look for areas with riffles, runs, and pools – these are prime trout holding spots. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms and mealworms are effective. For a more challenging experience, try fly fishing with nymphs or dry flies. A local tip: access to the Pequannock River is generally good, with several access points along the river. Be mindful of private property and respect the local environment. The trout in this area are typically of stocked size, but you might find some holdover fish that have grown larger. Always check the latest stocking reports from the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife to find out where the most recent releases have occurred.
