Nice runnin into ya beezer. Nice ride!!

I don't mind the traffic, after all, it's public water. And, if I skunk out, I usually blame the conditions, or myself. Not other boaters or angling pressure.

Re: Passaic conditions
 

Don't blame yourself! There is always a good reason and most times it has little to do with you. Sure its easier to blame someone or something else but its also the truth. If pond "A" always produces many bass and one time I get almost nothing, pretty sure its nothing I'm doing wrong. Its could be weather, birds, other anglers, et al.

I blame carp all the time for messing up the river and I do believe their muddying up the water is a big reason for poor success in areas that always hold fish. I've fished the same sections both cloudy and somewhat clear(passaic is rarely just clear) and the difference is huge.

Hit the Passaic today from 3-8pm in the kayak with my buddy Earl. The water was a little muddy but managed a few fish. After a slow start we landed 2 small pike, 2 large-mouth bass and one pickerel. Most of the action came after 6pm.

Kayaks are cool but this way better....not for the frugal fisherman though;)
I saw a guy on the Delaware launch one of these in about 5 minutes.
If I had a place to store a Mokai I would of had one 3 years ago.
