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 can be a fun and accessible target for anglers near Garwood, NJ. While not a premier catfishing location, the Rahway River and nearby bodies of water hold populations of these whiskered fish. Summer is the best time to target catfish, as the warmer water temperatures increase their activity. Focus your efforts in deeper pools and around structure such as submerged trees, bridge pilings, and rocky areas. Night fishing is particularly productive. Traditional catfish baits like cut bait, chicken liver, and nightcrawlers are all effective. A simple slip-sinker rig is a reliable choice. Access to the Rahway River is available at several points along its course, but be prepared for some muddy conditions. The catfish in this area are typically in the 2-5 pound range, although larger fish are occasionally caught. Remember to check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits before heading out.
