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 Hillsdale, NJ, focuses primarily on the larger reservoirs within a reasonable drive. While not a renowned walleye destination, Lake Hopatcong, about an hour west, is your best bet. This large lake has a decent population of walleye, offering a challenging but rewarding pursuit. The key is understanding their seasonal movements. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times. In spring (April-May), target shallow, rocky areas near spawning grounds after dark. In the fall (October-November), walleye often move deeper, staging near drop-offs and submerged structures. Trolling crankbaits or jigging with blade baits are popular techniques. Access to Lake Hopatcong is available through several public boat ramps and marinas. Be mindful of the lake's size; wind can pick up quickly, so always check the forecast before heading out. A local tip: Focus on areas with submerged timber; walleye often relate to this structure.
