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 in Rahway, New Jersey, the Rahway River is your go-to spot. This urban river holds a decent population of catfish, offering anglers a chance to hook into some whiskered fighters. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, especially at night. Catfish are opportunistic feeders, so stinkbaits, chicken liver, and cut bait are all effective choices. A great access point is near the Milton Lake dam, where the deeper water tends to hold larger fish. Be aware that the river can be affected by runoff after heavy rains, so check water conditions before heading out. The catfish in the Rahway River are generally healthy and provide good table fare, but always check local advisories regarding consumption.
