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.

Speckled Trout
Union Beach, New Jersey, while perhaps better known for its bay fishing, offers opportunities for speckled trout (spotted seatrout) fishing within a reasonable distance. While not a primary speckled trout destination like areas further south, Raritan Bay and its associated creeks and estuaries can hold fish, especially during the warmer months. Look for areas with structure, such as docks, bridges, and oyster beds. These areas provide ambush points for the trout. The late spring and early fall are often the most productive times, as the water temperatures are ideal. Small jigs, soft plastics, and live shrimp are all effective baits. A stealthy approach is crucial, as speckled trout can be easily spooked in shallow water. Focus on areas with slightly brackish water. Remember to check the local fishing regulations for size and creel limits, as they can vary.
