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.

Weakfish
Weakfish, known for their delicate mouths and beautiful coloration, offer a thrilling light-tackle challenge near Egg Harbor Township. These fish are highly migratory, and their presence in local waters is often dictated by water temperature and baitfish abundance. Spring and early summer are typically the best times to target them, as they move into the bays and estuaries to feed. Look for them around grass beds, tidal creeks, and deeper channels. Small jigs, soft plastics, and live shrimp are all effective baits. A local angler's secret: focus on areas with slightly stained water, as Weakfish tend to be more active in lower light conditions. Consider launching from one of the smaller ramps along the bay for easy access to prime Weakfish habitat, but be sure to check local tide charts for optimal fishing times.
