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 fishing around Folsom, NJ, can be a rewarding experience, especially if you're after a relaxing day on the water. While not known for huge specimens, the local lakes and ponds hold a healthy population of these whiskered predators. Hammonton Lake and nearby impoundments are good starting points. The best time to target catfish is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. They become more active in the evening and at night, so consider fishing after dark for the best results. A simple bottom rig with stinkbait, chicken livers, or cut bait is often all you need. Look for areas with submerged structure or near creek channels. A local trick is to pre-bait your fishing spot a day or two in advance to attract more catfish. The catfish in these waters typically range from 2-5 pounds, but larger ones are occasionally caught. Be prepared for a strong fight, as even smaller catfish can put up a good battle.
