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.

Tuna
Chasing tuna off Seaside Park requires a bit more commitment, but the rewards can be immense. This area provides access to deeper offshore waters where bluefin, yellowfin, and bigeye tuna roam during the warmer months, typically from late June through October. Trolling skirted lures or chunking with butterfish are common tactics, but jigging has also become increasingly popular. The bite often depends on finding temperature breaks and areas of concentrated baitfish. The main boat ramp at Island Beach State Park offers good access, but be prepared for a longer run offshore. Keep a close eye on weather forecasts, as conditions can change rapidly. Also, be aware of the highly regulated nature of tuna fishing – make sure you have the proper permits and understand the current size and bag limits before heading out.
