Big wild browns and big pike (2/17/19 - 2/18/19)

Explored some new water with a friend on Sunday and it payed off. Got a bunch of big wild browns in the first stretch we hit. The second stretch ended up being shallow and featureless, so we can scratch that off the spot list. All in all a great day.







Monday I headed out in search of some winter pike. I ended up catching this beast on a lure. Then, I decided to hit a trout hole on the way home and caught one decent wild brown.

As I said on Facebook, I haven't caught a pike before and that has to change! Would love to get out there with you sometime and learn about them! Congrats on the awesome mixed bags, those browns are gorgeous too

Great fish. Nothing worse than a flat, featureless, shallow stretch of river... well maybe not as worse than a beautiful stretch all behind posted signs

There have been reports of baby pike in the Passaic and what appear to be pickerel/pike hybrids.
