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 Pitman, NJ, isn't typically known as a smallmouth bass hotspot, you *can* find them in certain areas, particularly in the deeper sections of the local rivers and streams like the Mantua Creek. The challenge is finding them amongst the more prevalent largemouth. Focus on areas with rocky bottoms, deeper pools, and current breaks, as these provide the preferred habitat for smallmouth. Spring and fall are, as usual, the most productive times. Try using small crankbaits or tubes to entice a strike. Access can be limited, so scouting for accessible bank fishing spots or using a kayak is recommended. Be aware that the smallmouth population is relatively small, so catch and release is encouraged to help maintain the fishery.
