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
Toms River, New Jersey, provides access to fantastic striped bass fishing in the Barnegat Bay and surrounding waters. The unique mix of saltwater and brackish environments creates ideal habitat for stripers, especially during their spring and fall migrations. These fish move in and out of the bay, following schools of bunker (menhaden). Early spring and late fall are the best times to target these migrating fish. Look for areas with structure, such as bridges, docks, and channel edges, as stripers often ambush prey from these locations. Live-lining bunker is a popular and effective method, but casting artificial lures like swimbaits and topwater plugs can also produce exciting results. A helpful tip: the Route 37 bridge is a well-known spot for land-based striper fishing. The striped bass population in this area is healthy, with fish ranging from schoolies to trophy-sized individuals.
