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 are a fun and accessible target for anglers near Florham Park, NJ. The Passaic River is a reliable spot to find them, along with some of the larger lakes and reservoirs in the area. Summer is the best time to target channel catfish, as they are most active in warmer water. Fish near the bottom with baits like chicken liver, nightcrawlers, or commercial catfish baits. Look for areas with structure, such as fallen trees, submerged rocks, or deep holes. Public access to the Passaic River is available at several points, though shoreline fishing can be limited in some areas. Check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits. Catfish in this area can range in size from a few pounds to upwards of ten pounds, so be prepared with appropriate tackle. Patience is key when catfishing, so set up your lines, relax, and wait for a bite.
