So today I was again shutout by the pike - where the f are they? - but caught plenty of other fish including a beast 27" chainside. Only a 1" shy of my largest ever.
Another first: buzzbait yellow perch!
Later on caught another smallie in a section I don't ever see them. This one was around 14" and of course fought like a champ.
As has been my routine lately, took time out to throw around a grub to see else is swimming around out there. I must say the Passaic is loaded with yellow perch many of which are of decent size. Got a few small lmb, and redbreast sunfish as well.
