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.

Channel Catfish
If you're after some whiskered action, Allentown, NJ, provides a decent shot at channel catfish. Assunpink Lake is your primary target. These bottom-dwellers are most active during the warmer months, particularly from late spring through early fall. Night fishing is especially productive. Try fishing near the bottom with stinkbaits, cut bait, or chicken livers. The deeper areas of the lake, especially near the dam, tend to hold the larger cats. A helpful local tip is to use a slip-sinker rig to allow the catfish to take the bait without feeling resistance. Also, be mindful of the regulations regarding size and creel limits for catfish in New Jersey. Bank fishing access is readily available around much of the lake, making it accessible even without a boat.
