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
Somers Point offers some exciting striped bass action, especially if you key in on the local conditions. The striped bass here follow the bunker schools closely, so matching your presentation to the prevalent forage is key. Spring and fall are prime times, as the stripers migrate through the back bays and inlets. Don't overlook the Great Egg Harbor River; its brackish waters hold good numbers of fish as they move in and out. A local tip: try fishing around the bridges and docks at night with live eels or soft plastics – the structure and lights attract baitfish and, consequently, stripers. Also, be aware of the strong currents, especially around the inlets; adjusting your weight to keep your bait in the strike zone is crucial. The striped bass in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a well-presented natural bait or lure will often do the trick.
