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 in Passaic, NJ, are a surprisingly reliable target given the urban setting. The Passaic River, despite its challenges, holds a good population of catfish that thrive in the deeper, slower-moving sections. The warmer months, especially summer nights, are ideal for targeting these whiskered predators. Look for areas with structure like submerged logs or bridge pilings. Nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or commercial catfish baits are all effective. A medium-heavy rod and reel setup with strong line is recommended, as some of these catfish can reach impressive sizes. Be aware of the river's currents and potential snags when setting your bait. Access can be found at various points along the river, but be mindful of private property. While the river isn't known for its beauty, it offers accessible and productive catfish angling right in the heart of the city.
