Don't know how u guys fish in shorts. I can't think of a worst place to fish in shorts and t shirt than the passaic. Places I go are swarming with mosquitoes and thats just one issue. Banks lined with not only poison ivy, but stinging nettle and tree roots ready to trip you up. When I go there, I'm wearing gear made for jungle combat!

Great fish.

Why are most pike tails bloody and frayed? Can't be spawning. Odd....

Re: Pike-a-thon 3, 2015!!! 6/27-7/5!!!
 

They're done spawning for sure. This one has been in the river for a while. First time I caught her was 6-7 years ago and her tail was the same then as it is now. Also one of the thickest fish in this stretch. Water was cool to the touch where I was fishing.

Due to work, home and family obligations I could only reserve 2 evenings to get a shot at a pike for this years pike-o-thon. I had to stay local so I spent the last 2 evenings on the same waters where our Ice Fishing Contest's biggest pike was caught. Last night I had the skunk, went back this evening with a different game plan and ended up with a pair of bass to 18". So I'm throwing in the towel and headed to the beach for the 4th. Our best pike veterans have a couple good fish on the board but I'm hoping to see a 40"+ fish posted up here by Sunday. Good luck to everyone still in it and as always, thanks to Eddie for running thing!!!!!!!

Got out last night from 730-845. River was up about a foot from tuesday and even more discolored. No action to speak of!

Chris,

Looks like plan of adding nestle quick to the river is working. Let me know before you ran out and i'll get more.

We will not be denied a winning pike.

Plz ....you think your cookie cutter pike scares me. Keep Dreaming

And since we quoting Ricky Bobby Here:

Well, I’m the best there is. Plain and simple, when I wake up in the morning I piss excellence.

:D

The big one is coming .... I know it. Ask Ryan about the one he missed last night. And his bass as well. We are zoning in on the winner.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NO, NO!!! Your zoning in on a case of Jack my crazy friend!!!! Ryan who?

Re: Pike-a-thon 3, 2015!!! 6/27-7/5!!!
 

Ryan me. The gentleman who had the leading pike put his heart in his throat for 5 seconds before it decided it was better than I will ever be. This shortly after a slob of a bass decided it wanted to spend more time above water than in as i had my tip in the water trying to keep it down lol. Sadly I continue to be the woulda coulda shoulda guy, but that shall end. Tomorrow is the day. If it doesnt happen tomorrow my foot will remain in mouth.

Re: Pike-a-thon 3, 2015!!! 6/27-7/5!!!
