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.

Sheepshead
Sheepshead fishing in the Oceanport, NJ, area offers a unique challenge for anglers targeting saltwater species. The pilings of bridges, docks, and bulkheads in the Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers are prime locations to find these striped bandits. Spring and early summer are generally the best times, as the water warms up and they begin to spawn. Fiddler crabs are the bait of choice, fished close to the structure on a Carolina rig or a jighead. A local tip: use a very sharp hook and set it quickly, as sheepshead are notorious for their subtle bites. Also, be prepared to lose some tackle, as fishing around structure is inevitable. Several marinas in Oceanport offer boat rentals and access to these fishing spots. Sheepshead are known for their powerful fights and delicious meat, making them a rewarding target for anglers willing to put in the time and effort.
