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
Don't overlook the possibility of catching channel catfish near Ventnor City, even with its proximity to the ocean. While saltwater fishing dominates, freshwater canals and ponds slightly inland hold catfish populations. Focus your efforts on areas with deeper water and structure, such as bridge pilings, culverts, and submerged debris. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the most productive times to fish for catfish. Night fishing can be particularly effective as catfish are nocturnal feeders. A local angler's trick is to use cut bait or prepared catfish baits with strong scent. Also, be aware of the tidal influence if fishing near brackish water connections, as this can affect catfish activity. While the catfish in this area might not be trophy-sized, you can find consistent action with fish ranging from 1 to 5 pounds.
