Pompton River Pike and Bass

[The Birdman]

I float that exact trip a lot, i usually pull out at suckorski park. I live up the street from the river off farmingdale rd.
Hardly any ppl fish that besides the trout fisherman who fish the stocking spots seasonally.
pompton river has some big largemouth, smaller smallmouth. pike not so much, they are there, but are very skittish and spook easy.
best sections are the pools down from stopnshop and past the park, behind ramada, the entire extremely straight flat after rt23, pia costa channel, then down by the old railroad bridge by above the abandoned hoffman grove flood section (talk about spot burning )
spinnerbaits and topwater.
i would extend your paddle to past willow brook mall to that park i mentioned.
hope this helps
