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 looking for some hard-fighting smallmouth bass in the Harrington Park area of New Jersey, you'll want to focus your attention on the nearby stretches of the Ramapo River. This river system, known for its rocky structure and clear, cool water, provides excellent habitat for smallies. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass are actively feeding before and after the summer heat. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as submerged rocks, fallen trees, and bridge pilings. A great access point is the Darlington County Park in nearby Mahwah, offering shoreline access and boat launch options. Remember that water levels can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rains, so be sure to check conditions before heading out. Anglers often find success using crankbaits, jigs, and tubes in natural colors that mimic the local forage. The Ramapo's smallmouth tend to be scrappy fighters, often exceeding 3 pounds, so be prepared for a good battle!
