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 Leonia, NJ, requires a bit of travel but can be rewarding. While not found directly in Overpeck Creek, heading north to the Delaware River offers your best shot at hooking into these prized fish. The Delaware, particularly sections near the Delaware Water Gap, holds a decent walleye population. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with walleye often congregating near structure and current breaks. Jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows are a classic and effective approach. A boat is highly recommended for accessing the best walleye spots on the Delaware. Several boat ramps are available along the river in areas like Dingmans Ferry and Milford, PA (just across the border). Be sure to check the river conditions before heading out, as water levels and clarity can fluctuate. Walleye in the Delaware River typically range from 2-5 pounds, with larger fish possible.
