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
Elmwood Park offers some surprisingly good smallmouth bass fishing, primarily in the Passaic River. This section of the Passaic is characterized by rocky runs, deeper pools, and plenty of structure that smallies love. Spring and fall are prime times; as water temperatures moderate, the smallmouth become more active. Look for pre-spawn activity in the spring, and aggressive feeding as they bulk up for winter in the fall. Wading can be productive in many areas, but be cautious of slippery rocks and varying water depths. A great access point is near the 8th Street bridge where there's ample parking and easy access to the river. Local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. After a heavy rain, the Passaic can get muddy, so check conditions before heading out. When the water is clear, try using crankbaits and tube jigs to entice those smallmouth.
