they are an ocean fish, so you'd probably only find them downstream of the dundee dam

i have been fishing this river for about 27yrs and never seen one in there i think he was lost but it was very healthy

Awesome TIDAL Passaic report. Next time snap some pics! How was the water quality given the rain we had the other day?

On a side note, I remember reading an article in the Star Ledger a few years ago about a fisherman catching some South American native fish in the tidal Passaic .

water was not bad some trees but very fishable
