Thumbs up Re: river serpent

Now that's a healthy river Gator! You can see it's nice and thick and eating well! That's a beauty! Some of be other Pike caught this year look anorexic! We got 35-37 inch Pike being caught all over and some of them are barely 7 lbs! Good one dude!!!

Very nice, healthy river pike! Definitely a very solid fish. I wouldn't worry too much about the tail slaps as long as you steer clear of the toothy end haha.

Passaic R. serpent anglers:

Last fall, we boat electrofished, accessing the river @ Columbia Turnpike, Florham Park; Camp Lane, Fairfield & Elmwood Park.

We measured & released 3 pike, no longer than 30". Missed a couple of others.

Plan to go again this fall. PM, or call me with any spots you are wiling to divulge.

The above three access points are the only ones that I know of that can accommodate our big, trailered electrofishing boat.

Thanks.

Mark

yeah we sleep sometimes...JD clonked out after downing a 44 ounce coffee, i'm still amazed by that! after last weekend fishing almost 48 hours my sleep pattern is royally screwed still!!

Dan blindfolding his son-in-law...that's too funny hahaha. he probably thought you were joking when you told him, but you should've said he's lucky to not have a little black bag over his head to totally prevent peaking!
