still bitin on the PR
 

went out on tues for a few hours and caught 5 pike the biggest was 27" with a Lm Sm and a crappie thrown in too. All on spinner bait

Been fishing for years and so excited to land my first pike right in our back yard so to speak.

Climbed "the rope" below the little falls drop and worked the shoreline without success last night... looking forward to going out tonight if these storms pass

Congrats on the Pike. It's amazing they've still been this active this deep into summer. I usually launch the yak and paddle up to the area you mentioned. Very fishy, yet severely overfished unfortunately :mad: . Good early season spot though.

I had good few hours between 6 and 8pm. Nothing huge with the largest about 30". One very nice 19" bass as well.

I will give credit where credit is due and say the fella who passed me in a motored kayak went by slowly with little wave action. I did get fish minutes after he passed so kudos to whomever it was for respecting this bank beater and not sending waves crashing to shore as u went by.

congrats on your first passaic pike! sprained ankle has kept me laid low the last week but did see that the rain we've gotten has boosted the riv a bit. gonna give my ankle another day and the water that extra time to clear then I'm back at it.
