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
If you're looking for a walleye adventure in northern New Jersey, Paterson offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The Passaic River, which flows through the city, holds a decent population of walleye, especially in the deeper pools and around rocky structures. Target areas below the Great Falls and near any of the old industrial dams or bridge pilings for the best results. Spring and fall are prime times, with the walleye becoming more active as water temperatures cool. Try fishing at dusk or dawn, as walleye are generally more active in low light conditions. A local tip: be mindful of the currents in the Passaic, especially after heavy rains. Using heavier jigs or weights to keep your bait near the bottom is crucial. Also, be aware of access points, as some areas are restricted due to the industrial history of the area; research public access points beforehand.
