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 provide a reliable and accessible fishing option near Fort Lee, NJ. The Hackensack River and its tributaries offer consistent action, especially during the warmer months. These fish thrive in a variety of conditions, making them a good target for anglers of all skill levels. Summer and early fall are prime times, as catfish are most active in warm water. Focus on areas with structure, such as fallen trees, bridge pilings, and deeper holes. While access can be limited in some areas, there are several parks and public access points along the Hackensack River that offer decent bank fishing opportunities. Be aware of potential pollution issues in urban waterways. Channel catfish in this region are known to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits can be effective, including nightcrawlers, chicken liver, and cut bait. They're also a great option for night fishing.
