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
Smallmouth bass fishing near Tavistock, NJ, requires a bit of travel, as the immediate area isn't prime smallie habitat. Your best bet is to head north towards the Delaware River or some of the larger, rockier streams in the northern part of the state. Smallmouth prefer cooler, moving water with plenty of structure. Fall is an excellent time to target smallmouth, as they aggressively feed to prepare for winter. Use crankbaits, tubes, or jigs to target rocky areas, current breaks, and submerged structure. Summer evenings can also be productive, especially when fishing topwater lures. A key tip: look for areas where the river narrows and the current picks up; these are often smallmouth hotspots. Be prepared for some wading, as many of the best smallmouth spots are only accessible on foot. While the smallmouth population isn't huge, you can find some quality fish in the 2-4 pound range with some effort. Be sure to check the river levels and water clarity before heading out, as these can significantly impact fishing success.
