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
If you're after channel catfish in southern New Jersey, Vineland offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The Maurice River and its tributaries, like the Manumuskin River, are prime spots. These waterways have healthy catfish populations that are often overlooked. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are particularly productive. Catfish are aggressively feeding to regain condition. A simple bottom rig with cut bait or chicken liver works wonders. For bank access, try the Maurice River Bluffs Preserve; it provides some accessible spots along the riverbank. Be aware that the water levels in these rivers can fluctuate, so check conditions before you head out. Also, mosquitoes can be fierce, especially at dusk, so bring plenty of insect repellent.
