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
Belmar, New Jersey, is a prime location for targeting striped bass along the Jersey Shore. The local waters, including the Shark River and the nearby Atlantic Ocean, provide diverse habitats that hold stripers throughout the year. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as striped bass migrate along the coast. During these times, you can find them in the surf, in the rivers, and around inlets. Bunker (menhaden) are a key forage fish, so using live or chunked bunker is a highly effective strategy. Boaters can access the ocean via the Belmar Marina, while surfcasters can find numerous access points along the beaches. Be aware of local regulations regarding size and bag limits, which can change seasonally. The strong currents around the inlets can be challenging but also attract fish.
