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
If whiskered predators are your quarry, Lindenwold, NJ, offers some decent Channel Catfish opportunities. The Cooper River, along with many of the smaller lakes and ponds in the area, hold populations of channel cats. These fish thrive in a variety of conditions, making them a reliable target. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Catfish are most active at night, so consider fishing after dark for the best results. Look for areas with structure like submerged logs, rocky bottoms, or deep holes. A classic catfish rig with some stinkbait or cut bait is always a good choice. Many local anglers have success using chicken liver or nightcrawlers. Be aware that the Cooper River can experience fluctuating water levels, so check conditions before heading out. Access to the river is available at several points along its course, but be mindful of private property. The channel catfish in this area are generally in the 2-5 pound range, with larger specimens possible.
