Passaic River still getting hits?

[al7601]

I haven't been seeing as many posts as I was a month or two ago and was wondering if folks have still been getting lucky?

yep what he said. with cooler nights and shortening days, the bass bite should be in full speed ahead mode. my largest bass most years have come in september so we shall see. my guess is pike activity should also spike up with cooler temps as their preferred temp range is <65F. Passaic has been running above 65F since the end of May.

We hit the Passiac in a new spot and landed two pike, one LMB, and one small yellow perch. This Pike was the big one for the day.

I have landed close to 20 in my past 3 trips this week. Plenty of action, but nothing over 36". I am guessing that I missed at least that many. The numbers are still there, but it seems the big ones are laying deep and not looking to commit to a lure.

finding the fish is easier than finding the time to fish.
