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 you're after channel catfish near Midland Park, NJ, consider exploring the lower reaches of the Passaic River and its connected waterways. While not a renowned catfish destination, the Passaic does hold a population of channel cats that can provide some fun fishing, especially at night. Look for deeper holes and areas with submerged structure. Summer is the prime time for catfish, as they become more active in warmer water. Fishing at dusk or dawn, or even better, at night, will significantly increase your chances of success. A good tip is to use cut bait or stink baits fished on the bottom with a Carolina rig. Find areas with slower current and plenty of cover. Be aware that the Passaic River can have varying water quality depending on rainfall and runoff, so check local advisories before consuming any fish. Also, be prepared for some trash and debris along the riverbanks.
