Passaic River 6/21
 

So I've caught a lot of PIKE out of 1 stretch of river over the past several years, but those fish have left that stretch due to floods and maybe lack of forage. I was fishing from the Great swamp down to the Passaic River park on Snyder Ave for years, lots of Pike caught up to 40 inches with even bigger lost. Time to move on, so yesterday and today I pounded a new stretch of river that I havn't put much time into. I found the silly little PIKE and plenty of other fish for them to feed on carp, largemouth, gills and some other small fry swimming around. Between yesterday and today I landed 14 Pike, however i didn't find anything huge in this stretch. All Pike were between 16-27 inches, no follows from any big Pike, many were missed. I can tell you that this stretch is STACKED with PIKE!!! Im glad i found them again, walking the banks of the mighty Passaic aint easy! Covered about 15-17 miles of shore line in recent months, Im back on there trail!!! GOOD TIMES, TIGHT LINES!!!:D

Awesome job man!! I thought having a boat would open new opportunites, but you really tracked em down. From the banks no less. Way to go.........

Re: Passaic River 6/21
 

Yeah buddy! Any multi-pike day is a good day. Glad you tracked 'em down.

you deserve a purple heart for fishing in the heat of the last two days! I fish that area as well, any chance I could get a pm of what bridge that is in the pic?

thats a nice day of fishing. ill be on the passaic tomorrow cant waite, i was worried maybe it would be alittle slow cause the heat but guess they are still hitting.

I watch the weather like a friggin lunatic. If it had been hot every night for the past month I don't know if I would've gone for Pike at all. Fact is, it hasn't been over 60 degrees at night too often this year. Although we had a mild winter, the overnight temps being in the 50,s for the most part is helping the fishery I believe. Just my opinion, i am no pro, thats for sure. Go get em brotha, theres plenty of PIKE waiting for you. TIGHT LINES!!!

Re: Passaic River 6/21
 

Nice Job Eddie! I think that is the same stretch I put my boat in the last few times I've been there. I haven't found any monsters in that stretch yet either, but the action was non stop.
