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 Far Hills, NJ, requires a bit of exploration, but the rewards can be worth it. While not as abundant as largemouth, smallmouth can be found in the deeper, rockier sections of the Raritan River and its tributaries. Focus on areas with current and structure, such as rocky ledges and submerged boulders. Late spring and early fall, when water temperatures are moderate, are the most productive times. A local tip: access the river near bridges or public parks for easier bank fishing. Small crankbaits, tubes, and jigs that imitate crayfish are effective lures. The smallmouth in this region are known for their fighting spirit, so be prepared for a good battle. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population. Be aware of water levels, as heavy rains can make the river difficult to fish.
