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
Walleye fishing near Franklin, NJ, requires a bit of exploration, but there are some worthwhile spots within a reasonable drive. Lake Hopatcong, a larger lake to the southeast, is your best bet for targeting walleye. The fall and early spring are the most productive times, as the walleye move into shallower water to feed and spawn. Jigging with bucktails or using live bait rigs around rocky points and submerged structures are effective tactics. Another option is Monksville Reservoir to the north, which also has a walleye population. A local tip: Lake Hopatcong can get crowded, especially on weekends, so consider fishing during the week or exploring less popular areas. Also, be aware of the lake's thermocline during the summer months, as walleye will often hold in deeper, cooler water below the thermocline. The walleye in these lakes are generally good sized, with some reaching trophy proportions. Be prepared for some deep water fishing and use your electronics to locate structure and fish.
