Eyes on the Passaic

[Esox Luciano]

Hit the river 2night but was kinda defeated by our timing/weather. Lured in my second river walleye!! I don't catch many of these on the river, but when u pull a nice gamefish through the polluted, enviromentally neglected, chocolatey surface of the Passaic.....it's worth that much more! So this being my 2nd in a week, wuz wonderin if any of u fellaz target them on the Passaic @night? Gotta b some bigguns out there. If u got pics lets see em!!

Nice eye! Not trying to pry your spot, but did you catch them in the tidal or non tidal section?

Start a clean up committee on the Passaic, the area you fish. Don't say it can't be done because it is happening on the South Branch. Write many letters in your spare time to all the towns and local environmental groups. We just got this out of the lower South Branch.

@tjc, it wuz in the new Dundee preserve in Clfton. Tidal n brackish, but get around 2 the falls n theres some pools wit decent depth. WATCH OUT 4 SNAGS!! Roll wit topwater lures or shallow swimmin cranks unless u luv losing tackle.!!! Also, the depth in the river also runs wit accessible preserve closer 2 shore..but. Theres bums that stay there starting under the outwater bridge n on upstream for about 100yds. So do wut u do you buddy, I kno I do! Can't stop a fisherman wit an itch! Good luck!
