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 Lawnside requires a bit of exploration, as they aren't as prevalent as largemouth in this area. Your best bet is to head towards the Delaware River. The stretch north of Philadelphia, though it requires a bit of a drive, provides decent smallmouth habitat. Look for rocky areas, current breaks, and bridge pilings – these are classic smallie hangouts. Fall (September-October) is an excellent time to target them, as they aggressively feed before winter. Consider using crayfish-imitating crankbaits or tubes dragged along the bottom. Public access points are available along the Delaware, but be mindful of the strong currents and boat traffic. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity; smallmouth prefer clearer water, so adjust your lure color and presentation accordingly. The smallmouth in this area are known for their fighting spirit, so be prepared for a good battle!
