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
Don't overlook Glen Ridge, New Jersey, if you're looking to tangle with some channel catfish. While not a renowned catfish destination, the Passaic River, which flows nearby, holds a decent population of these whiskered predators. Summer is the peak season for catfish activity, as the warmer water increases their metabolism and feeding. Night fishing is particularly effective, as catfish are primarily nocturnal. Use stinkbaits, cut bait, or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom with a simple Carolina rig. Access can be a bit limited in some areas, so look for public access points along the river or explore nearby parks. Be aware of potential snags and debris in the river. While you might not catch trophy-sized catfish here, the Passaic River offers a convenient and accessible option for a relaxing catfishing trip close to home. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
