Well it was a learning experience today for sure. I hit the passaic around 3 until dusk and managed to wrestle in one pike. Nothing of great size about 26 inches or so I forgot my phone, pliars, and knife in the car so I'm glad I didn't really need it. Anyway It was raining as soon as I pulled in but I started working the banks specifically in areas that had deep pockets off the strong current. I'm pretty sure the pocket I found had several fish holding in it as I got struck a few time and saw big swirls a few others. Fire tiger was the go to pattern today. I was getting the strikes just as I stopped the retrieve and it started to float back to the surface. Might try again tomorrow so if I have any luck I post it on the board again. Get out there and let's see some more december posts! Tight lines
