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 New Brunswick, the Raritan River is your primary target. This waterway holds a healthy population of catfish, offering excellent fishing opportunities, especially during the warmer months. Summer nights are particularly productive, with catfish actively feeding in the dark. The deeper holes and areas near the river's confluence with tributaries are prime spots. For bank access, try fishing near bridges or along the D&R Canal State Park. A word of advice: catfish in the Raritan are not particularly picky and will take a variety of baits. Prepared baits, cut bait, and live worms are all effective. Be prepared for some larger specimens; the Raritan can produce some surprisingly big catfish. Also, be mindful of the regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits. Be sure to use heavier tackle as some areas have heavy current and snags are common.
