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.

Seasonal Activity Chart
Striped Bass
Atlantic City offers some fantastic striped bass action, especially if you know where to look. The back bays and inlets around Atlantic City are prime locations, offering a mix of saltwater and brackish environments that stripers love. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as stripers migrate along the coast, moving in and out of these waterways. Focus your efforts around bridges, jetties, and areas with strong current. Live-lining bunker is a popular and effective technique. For boat access, consider the Farley State Marina. A local tip: don't overlook fishing at night, especially around well-lit areas like the casinos and boardwalk. These lights attract baitfish, which in turn attract stripers. Jersey stripers can be notoriously picky, so be prepared to experiment with different lures and presentations. Also, be aware of size and creel limits, as they can change frequently.
