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
Channel catfish anglers in the Englishtown area will find success in several local ponds and streams, though you might need to explore a bit to find the hotspots. The Manalapan Lake is one possibility, although fishing pressure can be moderate. A better bet might be some of the smaller, less-known ponds in the surrounding Monmouth County parks. These often hold surprisingly large catfish that are less accustomed to angling pressure. Summer evenings are prime time for catfish, as they become more active under the cover of darkness. Try using stink baits, cut bait, or even chicken livers on a simple Carolina rig. Fish near the bottom, close to any structure or cover you can find. A practical tip is to pre-soak your bait in a scent attractant to give it an extra edge. Also, be prepared for mosquitoes, especially during the warmer months. The catfish in these smaller bodies of water tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different baits and presentations. Respect the local environment and clean up any trash you generate to help preserve these fishing spots for future anglers.
