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 show in North Caldwell, the area's waterways also hold a decent population of smallmouth bass, particularly in the deeper, rockier sections of local reservoirs. They might not be as abundant as largemouth, but targeting them specifically can yield rewarding results. Look for smallmouth around rocky points, submerged ledges, and areas with current. The best times to target them are during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. One local tip is to focus on areas near dams or spillways, as these often hold smallmouth that are attracted to the moving water. Also, be prepared to use a variety of techniques, as smallmouth can be finicky. Experiment with different lures and presentations to find what works best on a given day. Consider using crankbaits or tubes in rocky areas.
