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
While not widely known as a walleye hotspot, the waterways near Princeton, New Jersey, do offer some limited opportunities to target this species. The Delaware and Raritan Canal, particularly where it connects to the Millstone River, can hold walleye, especially during the cooler months. Spring and fall are your best bets, as walleye tend to be more active in lower water temperatures. Target areas with deeper water and structure, such as bridge pilings and submerged logs. A helpful tip is to fish during low-light conditions, like dawn and dusk, as walleye are generally more active then. Jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows, as well as crankbaits that mimic baitfish, are effective presentations. The walleye population isn't huge, so be prepared to put in some time, but the reward can be a memorable catch.
