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 Margate City requires a bit of a drive inland, but the change of scenery is worth it. Focus your attention on the Delaware River, particularly the stretch north of Trenton. This area is renowned for its healthy smallmouth population. Spring and fall provide the most consistent action, as the fish are actively feeding. Look for rocky outcroppings, current breaks, and submerged structure, as these are prime smallmouth holding areas. A kayak or canoe can be incredibly beneficial for accessing hard-to-reach spots along the river. Be mindful of the current, especially after heavy rains. Local tip: Use tubes or craw imitations in natural colors. The smallmouth in the Delaware are known for their fight, so be prepared for a battle. Remember to check the regulations for specific areas, as some sections may have catch-and-release restrictions.
