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 Roseland isn't renowned for smallmouth bass fishing, nearby rivers and reservoirs offer opportunities to target these hard-fighting fish. The South Branch of the Raritan River, a short drive from Roseland, holds a decent population of smallmouth, particularly in the rocky riffles and deeper pools. Target areas with current breaks and submerged boulders. Late spring through early fall is the best time to fish for smallmouth, as the water temperatures are optimal. Small crankbaits, tubes, and jigs are effective lures. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers can also be productive. A local access tip: Look for public access points along the river, especially near bridges and parks. Wading is often necessary, so wear appropriate footwear. Be mindful of water levels, as the river can rise quickly after heavy rains. The smallmouth in this region tend to be scrappy fighters, so be prepared for a good battle!
