1st Kayak Pike of 2014

[Skunk City]

Stepped out of my comfort zone for a change and launched in a spot I had never kayaked before yesterday. Was on the water by 4:30 and hooked up within 5 minutes. Ended up landing 3 Pike; 2 average sized males and 1 fat female. All came on a brightly colored jerk bait. Felt nice to get some slime on the kayak after a long ass winter!

Nice! Been reading a lot this winter, trying to cross my ever first pike off the catch list this year. Guess its time to start putting that reading and map searching to use. No boat yet so stuck on the shore of Passaic for me.

NICE pike ! Don't feel like the Passaic is the only place to get pike, Spruce Run off the shoreline in April can be great.
You got the Millstone and Pompton rivers also.
Budd Lake, Cranberry Lake, Farrington Lake, and Pompton Lake just to name a few also.

Niiiice Rob. Good stuff. After the rain and water settles I might have to make a trip up to where I normally fish on PR. Good to see theyre responding... I dunno if its the pic but that fish looks huge! Great color too.

Beautiful fish!...I second what Andy said hitting Spruce run now through mid May is great. Ive seen 20lb plus big boys taken there every year.

Nice fish Rob! Anyone know why they don't stock them in monksville? It seems like that north side would be good habitat from why I understand of pike.
