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
If you're chasing smallmouth bass near Florham Park, NJ, you'll want to focus on the Passaic River and its tributaries. This area offers a mix of rocky runs, deeper pools, and submerged structure that smallies love. Spring and fall are prime times. In spring, target pre-spawn bass staging near spawning areas. In the fall, they're actively feeding to bulk up for winter. A key access point is along the river near Loantaka Brook Reservation, offering decent bank fishing. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate rapidly after rain, so check conditions before you head out. Smallmouth in the Passaic aren't known for their trophy size, but you can find good numbers of fish in the 1-3 pound range. Focus on using crayfish imitations, tubes, and spinnerbaits worked along the bottom.
