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 in the Medford Lakes area present a fun challenge for anglers seeking a more subtle pursuit than largemouth. While largemouth get most of the attention, the clear, sandy-bottomed sections of these interconnected lakes hold surprising numbers of smallies. Look for them around rocky points, submerged logs, and deeper channels between lakes. Spring and fall are prime times, as the smallmouth become more active in cooler water. Topwater lures can be incredibly effective early and late in the day, especially near shoreline structure. A practical tip: polarized sunglasses are essential for spotting submerged structure and identifying potential holding areas. Also, consider using lighter line and smaller lures than you might for largemouth, as the water clarity can make the fish more line-shy. While trophy smallmouth are rare, these fish fight hard and provide a rewarding experience in a scenic environment.
