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 Glen Rock, NJ, requires a bit more searching, as they aren't as prevalent as largemouth in the immediate area. However, venturing a bit further to the Passaic River or the Ramapo River can yield some good smallmouth action. These rivers offer rocky bottoms, riffles, and deeper pools that are ideal for smallmouth habitat. Summer and fall are generally the best times to target them, as the water temperatures are optimal for their activity. Look for smallmouth around rocky points, submerged logs, and near bridge pilings. A local recommendation is to use crayfish-imitating lures, as crayfish are a primary food source for smallmouth in these rivers. Tube baits, crankbaits, and jigs are all effective options. Be aware of water levels and current, as they can fluctuate significantly, especially after heavy rains. Also, consider wading or using a kayak to access some of the more remote and productive stretches of the river. The smallmouth population in these rivers is generally healthy, with opportunities to catch some feisty fish.
