I will be honest, I have caught many pike from the river in the past 6 years, but after reading the reports from msgdan and skunk city i am motivated to get a kayak. My buddy and I are also going to launch my 10 foot bass raider with a trolling motor in a few spots. With how big the river is I know are tons of holes that have not been touched with tons of pike just sitting there. I usually do not name spots on this site, but has anyone had any experience in fishing the river in passaic? That's right the city of passaic. One of my friends went there by boat along route 21 a few years ago and said that he caught a few pike. One of them ranging in the high 30s. It makes sense because I know there is a canal that runs off from the river and thats where he said they were. The only problem is you are paddling into territory where bums live on the side of the river under route 21. My other buddy said he watched a fishing show where the guys were fishing in passaic with white spinner baits hammering pike. They were also saying that "rats" are one of the main food sources since there are so many of them in passaic under route 21. Has anyone seen this? I am dying to see the show. Two people have seen it that i know.
