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 smallmouth bass near Midland Park, NJ, the Ramapo River is your best bet. This river offers classic smallmouth habitat: rocky runs, riffles, and deeper pools that hold good numbers of fish. While not known for trophy-sized bass, the Ramapo consistently delivers action, especially during the warmer months. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish are more active during these periods. Focus on areas around boulders and submerged structure. A practical tip: Access the river via Darlington County Park in Mahwah, which provides good access points and parking. Be mindful of water levels, as the Ramapo can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rains, making wading difficult or dangerous. Also, be aware of the rocky bottom and wear appropriate footwear for wading. These smallies are aggressive and will hit a variety of lures, but crayfish imitations and small crankbaits often produce well.
