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.

Looking for some channel catfish action near Spring Lake Heights? While the area is better known for its saltwater fishing, the freshwater ponds and streams a short drive inland hold a surprising number of catfish. Consider exploring the waterways that feed into the nearby Manasquan River. These areas often have deeper pools and slower currents that catfish prefer. Summer evenings and nights are prime time to target them, as they become more active when the water cools down. Classic catfish baits like chicken liver, cut bait, or nightcrawlers are always a good choice. A simple bottom rig with a sliding sinker is a reliable setup. Many of the local ponds and streams have public access points, although some may require a short walk to reach the best fishing spots. Be mindful of private property and always obtain permission before fishing on private land. The catfish in this area aren't usually huge, but they offer a fun and accessible fishing experience for anglers of all ages.
