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
Bordentown, NJ, offers some excellent Channel Catfish opportunities, particularly in the Delaware River. What makes this location special is the tidal influence of the Delaware, creating diverse habitats that catfish thrive in. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, especially after a heavy rain when the river is slightly muddied. Focus on areas with deeper holes and structure like submerged trees or bridge pilings. A local tip: night fishing is particularly productive. Use cut bait, chicken livers, or commercial catfish baits. The Bordentown City Docks provide good access, but be mindful of boat traffic. The Delaware River catfish population is healthy, with good numbers of fish in the 2-5 pound range, and the occasional larger specimen.
