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.

Chasing tuna from Cape May Court House offers a unique opportunity to target these powerful fish relatively close to shore. The waters off Cape May are a migratory hotspot, especially during the late summer and fall when tuna follow schools of bunker and other baitfish. Success hinges on locating these forage concentrations, so keep an eye out for diving birds and surface activity. Water temperature breaks and current rips are also key areas to investigate. For the best results, match your presentation to the prevalent bait. Chunking with fresh bunker is a classic technique, but jigging and trolling can also be effective. Pay close attention to depth; tuna often hold at specific thermoclines. A local tip: the area around the 20 Fathom Line is a consistent producer, but be prepared for crowds. Also, be sure to check the most recent marine forecast, as conditions can change rapidly offshore.
