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
For channel catfish near Woodbury Heights, NJ, the Delaware River and its tidal tributaries offer the most consistent action. Catfish are relatively adaptable and can thrive in a variety of conditions, making them a reliable target. Summer evenings are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active in the cooler hours. Bait fishing is the most popular and effective method. Chicken livers, cut bait (shad or bunker if available), and nightcrawlers are all excellent choices. Fish near structure, such as fallen trees, bridge pilings, or deeper holes. The tidal nature of the Delaware can influence catfish activity, so pay attention to the tide charts. Incoming tides often bring in fresh bait and stimulate feeding. Public access is available at several boat ramps and parks along the river. Be prepared for some competition from other anglers, especially on weekends. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as channel catfish can grow to impressive sizes in the Delaware River system.
