Passaic 10/15

[basspilot]

Hit the passaic today late morning with a little rain coming down and got the skunk unfortunately. Got sawed off once by a nice size pike with some type of deformity on its eye. Also got unbuttoned by a real nice size smallie. Fish seem to be holding in deeper water already which I thought wouldve happened in a few weeks. How has everyone else been fairing in the passaic. I know the striped ones will be arriving shortly so I hope to see some reports on em but am not expecting to either .
