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
Ogdensburg, NJ, offers some surprisingly good smallmouth bass fishing, primarily in the Musconetcong River. This section of the 'Cong' is known for its rocky structure and clear, cool water – ideal smallie habitat. The best time to target them here is from late spring through early fall, after the spring spawning season. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as behind boulders or near submerged logs. Access can be a bit tricky, but there are several access points along Waterloo Road where you can park and wade the river. Be mindful of private property and always obtain necessary permits. A local tip: crayfish imitations and small swimbaits work wonders here, especially when fished slowly along the bottom. The smallmouth in this area tend to be scrappy fighters, often exceeding 15 inches, so be prepared for a good battle on light tackle.
