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
Chasing Smallmouth Bass around Demarest, NJ, offers some surprisingly good opportunities if you know where to look. The nearby Ramapo River, known for its rocky structure and riffles, provides ideal habitat for smallies. While not a trophy fishery, the Ramapo holds a healthy population of scrappy smallmouth. Spring and fall are the best seasons, when the water temperatures are moderate. Focus your efforts on areas with current breaks, boulders, and deeper pools. A local tip is to access the river via the numerous parks and access points along Route 202. Wading is common, so be sure to wear appropriate footwear. Small crankbaits, tubes, and jigs are all effective presentations. Remember to check water levels before you go, as heavy rains can make the river unfishable. The smallmouth in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so hold on tight!
