Anyway, today I got out fished for about 3 hours... I fished for 2 hours at Pia Costa Lake in Lincoln Park and I caught a 27 inch Northern on my very first cast and then nada.....
I then hit the Passaic River at 2 bridges and I caught another Northern Pike (21 inches).
I caught both Pike today on Rapala jointed fire tiger (floating). I reel it semi fast just so it gets about 2 feet depth and I work shoreline areas.
The rest of the pike on previous outings this year were all caught on silver spoons.....

Thanks for the good info. I've always wanted to fish Pia Costa but was under the impression that you had to be a town resident with a "sticker" to fish there?
I'll be fishing the river this week as well downstream of you guys. The rain we got should help, as well as it getting closer to their spawning time.
