CORRECTAMUNDO!! These guys actually make great live bait.
I agree with Jigman as well, that's a great stretch, but many better spots to target cat. At least you got what you went there for, plus more. Nice bag!

Looking at the stocking for channels Barbours pond/Dahnerts/Lower Passaic River are all I can seem to find within a 30 minute radius of Paterson that I can fish regularly. I've been skunked at Dahnerts and twice at Barbours so for now this is the best I got. :(

Nice!

I see guys at pompton lake all the time. Dunno how the catfish are but there's pike and bass. Shouldn't be an awful drive. Also the ramapo man lake be worth a trip

Pompton should turn up some cats. Check out Terhune Park, not a long ride from Paterson right up Hamburg Tpk. There is also a stretch just below the Pompton dam where you can fish from shore. I'm sure some big fish have washed over that dam over the years.

Try fishing just below the falls at the Dundee Dam on the Passaic. And by just below, I mean practically in the foam. I've caught a few of my best Channel cats there using crayfish caught right there around that island. Everything washes over that dam to feed them. You might hook a monster (or a shopping cart, or a spare tire, or Jimmy Hoffa). :eek:

agree, looks like a Greenie. They are aggressive and fun to catch, seen a lot of them in the small rivers by me. Did not know they were invasive in NJ until I read the list in the digest.
