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 are a readily available target in the freshwater systems around Linwood. The various creeks and ponds connected to the Great Egg Harbor River offer excellent opportunities to hook into these whiskered fish. Summer nights are prime time for catfish, as they become more active under the cover of darkness. A simple bottom rig with stink bait or cut bait is often all you need. A local tip: try fishing near structure, such as fallen trees or bridge pilings, as catfish tend to congregate in these areas. Many of the ponds and creeks are accessible from public parks, though some may require a short walk. The channel catfish in this region are known for their willingness to bite, and they can provide a fun and accessible fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels. Remember to bring a good pair of pliers for removing hooks, as they can be deeply swallowed.
