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
If you're looking to tangle with walleye in the Closter, NJ area, focus your efforts on the nearby Hackensack River. While not known as a walleye hotspot, the deeper pools and structure along the river do hold some surprisingly large fish. Spring and fall are prime times, as walleye move into shallower water to spawn or feed before winter. Try targeting areas around the Oradell Reservoir, as walleye can move in and out of the reservoir into the river. A key to success here is stealth; the Hackensack can be clear at times, so use fluorocarbon leaders and make long casts. Local anglers often have success with jerkbaits and swimbaits worked slowly along the bottom. Be aware of access points, as much of the shoreline is private property. Look for designated fishing access areas and always respect posted signs.
