Pompton/Passaic/Pohat 12-27/28

[The Birdman]

Took the Yak out Friday on the Pompton & Passaic.

Started @the 202 ramp behind mountain view/hoffman grove and ended @Fern river park on the passaic. Man do I need a new yak, that thing is too small for me now! Gona get a 12' pelican i think in Feb.

It was my worst pike/bass trip ever with not even a bite . I threw everything and hit every go-to spot along the whole stretch!

Anyone have any advice for winter Pike?? shoot me a PM!


Today i took my Dad & older bro to the musky/pohat for trout. Ended up with 3 (ugly) rainbows & 2 browns. All out of 1 hole. Good time with the fam squad.

Finally nice to be fishing instead of working!!

Yes they are ugly rainbows, just as ugly as the bows I got out of the Pequest today. Still a good catch dude. Great day to be out and about!!! Good stuff!!!

The trout don't look that ugly to me, full fins, just have that dark winter color. Cool pics, glad to see you guys out there beatin' it up !

John, I think those fish work pretty decent actualky.....that's cool that you were able to get out with your father and catch some fish... have a beautiful day to be out as well.....good job!!!

Passaic and Pompton have been slow for me also. Fished both this morning with only a jumbo Yellow Perch to show. Watched a Peregrine chase down and miss a Kingfisher which was pretty cool.
