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 fishing near Stockton, NJ, centers around the Delaware River. This river holds a healthy population of catfish, offering opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. The best time to target catfish is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, especially at night when they are most active. Focus on deeper holes and areas with structure, such as submerged logs or rocky bottoms. Cut bait, chicken livers, and nightcrawlers are all effective baits. A good strategy is to fish near the confluence of tributaries or areas where the river narrows. A local tip: Many anglers have success fishing below the wing dams that are present in some sections of the river. Be prepared for strong currents and use heavy weights to keep your bait on the bottom. Several access points along the Delaware River provide opportunities for bank fishing, but a boat can greatly expand your fishing options.
