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 channel catfish near Estell Manor, NJ, the Great Egg Harbor River is your best bet. This slow-moving river system provides ideal habitat for catfish, with plenty of cover and forage. The summer months are prime time for catfishing, particularly during the evening and overnight hours. A local's secret is to use cut bait or stinkbaits fished on the bottom in deeper holes and near submerged structure. Worms and chicken liver also work well. Several access points along the river offer bank fishing opportunities, and boat ramps are available for those with boats. Estell Manor Park provides a convenient starting point. The channel catfish in this region are known for their good size, with some exceeding 10 pounds. Be prepared for a strong fight, and remember to use appropriate tackle, including a sturdy rod and reel and heavy line. Patience is key when catfishing, so find a comfortable spot, cast your line, and wait for the bite.
