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.

Walleye
While not a traditional walleye hotspot, Chester, New Jersey, does offer a slim chance at hooking this prized fish in a few select locations. Your best bet would be Manasquan Reservoir, although it's a bit of a drive. Walleye aren't stocked directly in Chester, but some may migrate from other locations. Targeting them requires persistence and a knowledge of walleye habits. Spring and fall are the most promising times, particularly during low-light conditions like dawn and dusk. Look for rocky points, submerged structure, and deeper sections of the reservoir. Local anglers who target walleye often use jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows, or slow-trolled crankbaits along the bottom. Keep in mind that walleye fishing in this area can be challenging, and success is not guaranteed. However, the potential reward of landing a walleye in an unexpected location makes it worth the effort for dedicated anglers. Be sure to check the New Jersey fishing regulations for specific rules regarding walleye size and creel limits.
