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 anglers in Hasbrouck Heights have a few options for wetting a line. The Passaic River, while not pristine, holds a decent population of channel cats, especially in the deeper pools and areas with structure. Don't overlook the smaller lakes and ponds scattered around Bergen County either, as some are stocked and can hold surprising numbers of catfish. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are prime time for channel cats. They become more active as the water temperature rises and are particularly responsive at night. Classic catfish baits like chicken liver, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits are effective. Focus your efforts near submerged logs, riprap, or areas with current breaks. A local tip: try fishing near the Route 46 bridge over the Passaic River – the deeper water there often holds catfish. Be mindful of the river's water quality and potential debris after heavy rains. Also, be aware of local fishing regulations regarding size and creel limits.
