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.

Smallmouth Bass
Belvidere, New Jersey, nestled where the Pequest and Delaware Rivers meet, provides some excellent smallmouth bass fishing. The Delaware, in particular, is renowned for its healthy smallmouth population. Focus your efforts on rocky areas, riffles, and pools. Smallmouth here are known for their aggressive strikes, making them a blast to catch on light to medium tackle. Topwater lures, crankbaits, and jigs are all effective. The best times to target smallmouth are spring (pre-spawn and spawn) and fall when they actively feed before winter. Access to the Delaware River is relatively easy from various points along Route 46 and other local roads. Be aware of the river's flow; it can change quickly after rainfall. Wading can be productive in the shallower sections, but always exercise caution and wear appropriate footwear. Also, check the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any specific restrictions or size/creel limits on the Delaware River.
