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
Channel Catfish offer a fun and accessible fishing opportunity near Roselle Park, especially in the Rahway River. While not known for trophy cats, the Rahway holds a decent population of smaller to medium-sized channel cats that are eager to bite. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are the most productive. Focus your efforts around dusk and dawn, when catfish are most active. Look for deeper holes, areas with structure like fallen trees, or near bridge pilings. A simple bottom rig with nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or commercially available catfish bait is usually effective. A local tip: try chumming the area with a handful of cut bait to attract catfish to your fishing spot. The catfish here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different baits.
