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
Stone Harbor provides a fantastic launching point for striped bass anglers, with easy access to both the back bays and the open ocean. Like elsewhere in New Jersey, spring and fall migrations are peak times, but resident fish can be found throughout the summer. Focus your efforts around the inlets and bridges, where stripers ambush baitfish. The back bays offer calmer waters and opportunities for light tackle fishing. A local's secret: the sod banks in the back bays can hold surprising numbers of stripers, especially on an outgoing tide. Try drifting live eels or chunks of bunker along these banks. Pay attention to water temperature, as stripers will move into shallower or deeper water depending on the conditions. The stripers around Stone Harbor are known for their fighting ability, so be prepared for a good battle, especially when targeting larger fish.
