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 Ridgewood requires a bit of a drive, but the rewards can be worthwhile. Greenwood Lake, straddling the New York/New Jersey border, is known to hold a decent population of walleye. Monksville Reservoir is another option, although it can be challenging. The best times to target walleye are in the spring and fall, particularly during low-light conditions (dawn and dusk) or at night. Jigging minnows or using crankbaits along rocky points and drop-offs is a common and effective tactic. A key local tip for Greenwood Lake: pay attention to the thermocline during the summer months, as walleye will often congregate near it. A fish finder is essential for locating structure and fish. Also, be aware of the differing regulations between New York and New Jersey if you're fishing Greenwood Lake. While not a walleye hotspot, patience and persistence can lead to some memorable catches.
