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.

Sea Bright puts you in a prime position to intercept striped bass migrating along the Jersey Shore. The Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers offer brackish water habitats that attract stripers, while the nearby Atlantic provides access to larger migratory fish. Spring and fall are the key seasons, coinciding with the stripers' movement along the coast. Sandy Hook Bay is a popular spot, as is the area around the bridges. For shore anglers, the beaches and jetties offer good access. A local tip is to fish at night or during low-light conditions, as stripers tend to be more active then. Bunker spoons, swimbaits, and clam baits are all effective. Be mindful of strong currents and boat traffic. The striped bass in this region are known for their size and strength, offering a challenging and rewarding fishing experience.
