Passaic River 7/30
1 Attachment(s)
So yesterday was a very special day for me. It was the first time I launched a boat in the passaic river, and the first time I caught a pike on a chartreuse spinner bait. We launched my buddies 8 foot pelican bass raider boat with a 36 lb thrust trolling motor into a spot that we have never fished before or have heard anyone else trying. It was very surprising that this section of the river was about 8 feet in the middle. There was a lot of logs and nice weed lines on the side so we figured we would give it a shot. We fished from 7-8 not knowing what to expect. The first half hour we did not get a bite. But sure enough once we got to a bridge, I threw my spinnerbait at the middle pillar wall and within seconds I had a pike on. It was average size but gave up a nice little fight. Then my buddy hammered a nice smallie on a 10 inch senko LOL (he figured a pike might hit the big senko). After that he got two more smallies and I hooked a smallie as well. It was definitely worth heading out for the little time we had and it felt good to fish a spot that we actually found on our own. Can't wait to do it again.

Re: Passaic River 7/30
somethin about those center supports, find em hiding there everytime. you can jig a spoon around one from a bridge one side to the other and ususually get an attack from under the bridge. play him over to the side of the bridge and land him.

Re: Passaic River 7/30
Looking to fish the Passaic for along time . I work in Moonachie and can fish after work. Can anyone locate a decent boat ramp for a bass boat? I know water depth is alittle iffy but I'm not a kayak guy...at least not yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Garfield orElmwood Park areas ? Thanks
