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
While Largemouth Bass often steal the spotlight, Smallmouth Bass fishing near Hi-Nella, NJ, offers a unique challenge for anglers willing to explore. You won't find them in every pond, but the search can be rewarding. The Delaware River, again, is your best bet, though it's a bit of a drive. Look for rocky areas, current breaks, and submerged ledges. Smallmouth love structure. Spring and fall are prime times, as they move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Tube baits, crankbaits, and jerkbaits are all effective lures. Be prepared to cover a lot of water to find them. Wading the Delaware River can be productive in certain areas, but be cautious of strong currents and slippery rocks. Always wear appropriate wading gear and a life jacket. Smallmouth in this region tend to be scrappy fighters, and even smaller fish can put up a good battle. Be sure to check the regulations regarding size and creel limits before heading out.
