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 fantastic fishing opportunity near Victory Gardens, NJ, and the surrounding area provides several excellent freshwater locations to target them. The Raritan River, particularly stretches with slower currents and deeper holes, is a known hotspot. Also consider the Delaware River, a bit further west, but well worth the trip for the chance to catch a trophy catfish. The best time to target channel catfish is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. They are most active at night, so night fishing is highly recommended. Use heavier tackle, as these fish can grow quite large. A great local tip is to use cut bait or stink baits, which are particularly effective in attracting catfish in these waters. Public access points along the Raritan River are available, but be sure to check local regulations regarding fishing licenses and permitted fishing areas. The catfish in this region are known for their robust size and willingness to bite, making for some exciting angling.
