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 fishing near Brielle, NJ, is a bit limited, as the immediate area is more suited to warmwater species. You'll need to head inland to find suitable habitat. Consider exploring the upper reaches of the Manasquan River or the South Branch of the Raritan River further west. These rivers are unique for their rocky bottoms and cooler, flowing water, which Smallmouth Bass prefer. Spring and fall offer the best fishing, as the water temperatures are more favorable. A local tip: focus on rocky areas with current breaks, using crankbaits or jigs. Access can be tricky, so research public access points and be prepared for some hiking. While the Smallmouth Bass population isn't huge, the chance to catch them in these scenic rivers makes the trip worthwhile. Remember to check regulations regarding size and creel limits.
