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
Smallmouth bass fishing near Bordentown, NJ, primarily revolves around the Delaware River. This section of the Delaware offers rocky areas and current breaks that smallmouth love. Late spring through early fall is the best time to target them. During the warmer months, smallmouth will hold in deeper pools during the day and move into shallower riffles to feed in the evening. Tubes, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are effective lures. Wading is a popular method for fishing the Delaware, but be cautious of slippery rocks and strong currents. Consider launching a kayak or canoe for wider access. A key spot to investigate is the area around Trenton, a short drive from Bordentown, where the river offers varied structure. Local smallmouth are known for their fighting ability, and the Delaware River holds some quality fish. Be prepared to cover water and target areas with current and rocky bottoms for the best chance of success.
