We got a few 2 weeks ago last time I hit the river. Water temps were 2-3 degrees warmer then, but they were still feeding.

I got 2- 24 inch Pike on January 3rd this season. They were both caught on a spinner bait. You never know!

Well, Last December through January of this year I had about 60 pike in a 3 wk period.... I remember especially on January 3 of this year I had 19 pike in a 2 hour period caught all on a sliver spoon.... My little secret area on the Passaic has an inlet (sort of a little pond). Half of it was covered with Ice and all I was doing was casting my spoon on to the ice and then dragging it until it dropped off from the ice into the water and I was getting nailed every time... All Pike were between 16 - 28"........ never got any beasts but still fun never the less.

FYI: the only 'inlet' pond I know is on private property. Whom did you ask to get permission to fish there? I'm sorry I didn't hear you, who was it again?

who are you again....? Can I see some credentials?

I dont know what spot your referring to but the spot I frequent is public and owned by the state or town and not private (there are absolutley no private signs)....

My apologies. Its a long river so maybe there is a super secret inlet/pond I'm unaware of. I look forward to finding it next spring as will everybody else here. Thanks for sharing!

I dont think its a super secret as I do frequently find peeps fishing there occasionally when I arrive.... one day maybe we'll meet up and hit it up....

No pike for me recently, but I did catch 3 snakeheads and a sturgeon just the other day. Sorry no pics, left the phone in the car................
