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 Farmingdale, NJ, requires a bit of travel, but the rewards are worth it. While not abundant in the immediate vicinity, the Delaware River, a reasonable drive west, offers excellent smallmouth habitat. Focus your efforts on rocky areas, riffles, and pools. The river's diverse structure provides ample cover for smallmouth. Late spring through early fall is prime time. The pre-spawn period in May and June can be particularly productive, with fish actively feeding. As the water warms in summer, focus on deeper, cooler areas. Drifting crayfish imitations or throwing tubes and crankbaits are effective tactics. Access to the Delaware River is available at various points along its course, including public boat ramps and access points. Be mindful of river conditions, especially after heavy rain, as water levels can rise rapidly. Local tip: Pay attention to current seams and eddies, as smallmouth often ambush prey in these areas. Smallmouth in the Delaware River are known for their fighting ability, so be prepared for a battle.
