A Monday 3/11 Passaic Report

[PGAProfishional]

Gents,

I had the day off today and had planned to fish the Passaic with my adopted son(joking), njbassman. Little did I know he had gotten into a bad car wreck, in VT, over the weekend. He's fine, thank god, but he's a little sore. Drop him a line...

My Wingman was down, but certainly not out!

I decided to get out there and take advantage of the nice weather.

Obviously I'm kidding...Water levels seem to be falling compared to levels during the past couple weeks. Clarity was pretty good considering the recent storm (Snow Melt). Water temp was 41, according to my thermometer. Birds were chirping, a couple spiders crawled onto my tackle bag, and trees are beginning to bud. It's nice to see some early sights of spring.

I explored some new spots and tried some different techniques. I was able to hook up to 3 fish today but unfortunately landed only one. Cool thing, even though I lost 2 fish, I did see each one. That counts right! j/k

All Caught Using:
6'8'' St. Croix Mojo Bass Wacky Style Rod
Okuma Hardstone Spinning Reel
15lb PowerPro Braid
15'' 15lb Spiderwire EZ Fluoro attached using an albright knot as leader
Everything was hooked on a Johnson Silver Minnow with a 3'' Grub Trailer


Sorry for the Sloppy Pics fellas, I was alone and forgot my camera, so had to substitute with my Iphone and stretch my arm as far as I could

I landed this 20+'' today...

Another Pic Same Fish...



Cheers Ladies and Gentlemen,

Violent Hook sets!
