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
For anglers looking for a different kind of freshwater challenge, North Caldwell, NJ, offers opportunities to target channel catfish in its local ponds and reservoirs. These whiskered predators can provide exciting action, especially during the warmer months. Channel catfish are most active at night, so consider fishing after dark for the best results. The best baits to use are those with strong scents, such as chicken liver, nightcrawlers, or commercially prepared catfish baits. A local tip is to fish near submerged structure, such as fallen trees or rock piles, as these provide excellent ambush points for catfish. Also, be aware of the local regulations regarding fishing licenses and bait restrictions. Check local sources for any specific rules that may apply to the waterways you plan to fish. Use a sturdy rod and reel with strong line, as channel catfish can put up a good fight.
