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.

Striped Bass
Port Norris, situated near the Delaware Bay, offers excellent access to some of New Jersey's prime striped bass fishing grounds. The bay's expansive flats and channels provide ideal habitat for stripers, particularly during their spring and fall migrations. Focus your efforts on areas with strong currents and structure, such as the mouths of creeks and rivers that feed into the bay. Bunker spoons and live eels are popular choices for targeting larger fish. A key tip for this area is to pay attention to the tides. Stripers often become more active during the moving tides as they hunt for baitfish. The shallower flats can be particularly productive at high tide. Be mindful of the soft mud and potential for getting stuck when navigating the flats, and always check the local tide charts before heading out. The Delaware Bay stripers are known for their size and fighting ability, so be prepared for a battle.
