Whats up people! I haven't posted a new thread on here especially one including pictures in a while. Hit the twin bridges area for a bit yes in redemption of my miserable showing at the bass meet and greet up in swartswood this past Saturday. Did ok with 4 largemouth, one descent pike, and a yellow perch? I thought those perch were bait in this water but anyway all the fish were super healthy looking especially the bass. Unfortunately I didn't get the phone out until I caught the perch but nonetheless here they are below.

That perch didn't care how big that spinnerbait was huh??? It had eyes bigger than its stomach...

Re: passaic this past weekend
 

Nice fish! Havnt tried that area myself in a while. Way to get some.........

Re: passaic this past weekend
 

That's a vicious Jersey perch.....size don't matter!

Nice report and pics.

Nice mixed bag. I had a nice Yellow Perch wack my big spinnerbait a few weeks ago at 2 Bridges too. There's probably a nice population of them, but who targets them lol.

Might just be a secret pike livebait!!!! I knew a guy who used to use them for giant smallies in upstate NY!!!!!

I was thinking about putting a hook in him and droppin him right back down. That stretch of river always has me very confused though. Do you guys paddle up into the great piece meadows at all and how do you do? Also what's the deal with the private property signs in the river saying no fishing?

Nice fish dude. Redemption is awesome.

Re: passaic this past weekend
 

nice pike man, looks like a good time

You aren't kidding... I have caught perch on rapalas that were bigger than the fish

Highly recommended! I have had large chainsides steal perch that i was landing on a few occaisions

They def gorge on them up in the adirondacks... I had a 12" perch nail a 9/16 spinnerbait a few weeks ago up on the passaic. Ballsy lil SOB.

Re: passaic this past weekend
 

I don't know. It looks like the state closed that section of the river to fishing. Screw that.

Re: passaic this past weekend
 

Fishing IS allowed there. Here is a link that says so. http://nj.gov/dep/njnlt/greatpiecemeadows.htm

"The public is welcome to hike and fish on the preserve."

Re: passaic this past weekend
 

there have been problems in the past with the nature groups in that area erroneously posting no hunting/no fishing on land that they don't manage. best bet is to just listen to what the state has to say about it.

Re: passaic this past weekend
 

Thank you for that clarification.

I went back there once and saw some tree stands set up. Something about being a potential moving target for a bored hunter made me a bit uneasy, lol.........
