Default Re: Passaic River

I have been out on the Passaic River 4 times this year since Jan 15 with today being the 4th time... I have caught a total of 25 Northern Pike (with 1 possible tiger musky which I can not completely identify if it was or wasnt)....

Anyway, today I got out fished for about 3 hours... I fished for 2 hours at Pia Costa Lake in Lincoln Park and I caught a 27 inch Northern on my very first cast and then nada.....

I then hit the Passaic River at 2 bridges and I caught another Northern Pike (21 inches).

I caught both Pike today on Rapala jointed fire tiger (floating). I reel it semi fast just so it gets about 2 feet depth and I work shoreline areas.

The rest of the pike on previous outings this year were all caught on silver spoons.....
