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.

Seasonal Activity Chart
Walleye
Walleye fishing near Old Tappan centers primarily around the reservoir systems of northern New Jersey and the bordering parts of New York. While not as prolific as other species, dedicated anglers can find success. The best time to target walleye here is during the spring and fall months, when water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Look for them near structure like submerged timber, rocky points, and drop-offs. A local tip: Focus your efforts around the deeper sections of Lake Tappan, though access is limited to shoreline fishing in some areas. Night fishing can be particularly effective, especially during the warmer months when walleye move into shallower water to feed. Use lures that imitate baitfish, such as crankbaits, jigs, and swimbaits. The walleye population here is maintained through stocking efforts, so practice catch and release to help preserve the fishery.
