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 Metuchen, NJ, requires a bit of travel, as they aren't abundant in the immediate vicinity. Your best bet is to head to the Delaware River, a known walleye fishery, within a reasonable drive. Spring and fall are the peak seasons. In the spring, focus on areas near spawning grounds. In the fall, walleye are actively feeding to prepare for winter. Jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows are effective, as are crankbaits trolled slowly in deeper sections of the river. A key local tip: pay attention to the Delaware River Shad Run. Walleye often follow the shad migration, feeding on the smaller fish. Check local fishing reports for the latest information on shad activity. Walleye in the Delaware River can reach impressive sizes, with some fish exceeding 10 pounds. Be sure to check the current regulations for size and creel limits before heading out.
