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
Don't overlook the smallmouth bass fishing in the Raritan River near Sayreville. While the river is better known for other species, the rocky runs and deeper pools hold a population of smallies that provide exciting angling. Focus your efforts on the stretch of river above the Garden State Parkway bridge, where the water is clearer and the habitat more conducive to smallmouth. Early morning and late evening are prime times, especially during the warmer months (May-September). For success, try using small crankbaits, tubes, or Ned rigs bounced along the bottom. Fly fishing with crawfish or minnow imitations can also be very effective. Access to the river is available at several points along River Road. Be aware of the current, especially after heavy rains. Local anglers often have success wading, but always exercise caution due to slippery rocks and uneven bottom. Smallmouth in this stretch average 1-2 pounds, but larger specimens are occasionally caught.
