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
Finding smallmouth bass near Eatontown, NJ, requires focusing on the right type of water. While largemouth are more common in the immediate area, you can find smallmouth in the deeper, cooler sections of some rivers and streams further west. The South Branch of the Raritan River, though a drive, is a well-known smallmouth fishery. Look for rocky bottoms, riffles, and pools. Spring and fall are excellent times to fish for smallmouth, as they become more active in cooler water. Crayfish imitations, tubes, and small crankbaits are effective lure choices. Wading can be a great way to access prime smallmouth habitat, but be sure to check water levels and wear appropriate footwear. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the smallmouth population.
