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
If you're after some adrenaline-pumping offshore action, consider Tuna fishing out of Ship Bottom, NJ. The canyons off the Jersey coast are a renowned destination for various tuna species, including Bluefin, Yellowfin, and Bigeye. The prime time for Tuna fishing here is generally from late summer through fall, when warm Gulf Stream currents push closer to shore, bringing with them baitfish and hungry Tuna. Trolling with spreader bars, diving plugs, and skirted lures is a common tactic. Chunking with butterfish or sardines can also be highly effective. Access to the Tuna grounds requires a seaworthy vessel and a good understanding of navigation and offshore fishing techniques. Consider hiring a local charter captain for your first trip; they know the hotspots and have the necessary equipment and experience. Always monitor weather conditions before heading offshore, as the ocean can be unpredictable.
