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
Pemberton, NJ, offers some surprisingly good smallmouth bass fishing in the Rancocas Creek and its tributaries. What makes this area special is the relatively undeveloped nature of the waterways; expect a mix of wooded banks, submerged timber, and rocky runs that create ideal habitat for bronzebacks. Spring (late April-May) and fall (September-October) are prime times, as the smallmouth become more active with the water temperature changes. For access, try launching a kayak or canoe from Pemberton Township's various parks along the creek; be aware that water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before heading out. Focus on areas with current breaks and structure – smallmouth in the Rancocas are opportunistic feeders and won't be far from their next meal. Consider using crayfish imitations or small crankbaits to entice strikes from these feisty fish.
