Re: Pike-a-thon, No Winner, New Develpoments
Don't feel bad, guys. Last summer in June my friend came all the way up from Florida to do some NJ fishing, especially to do some piking in the Passaic. We put the boat in at 2 Bridges Road and headed a couple of miles upstream into the Great Piece Meadows.
I don't think I've ever seen a "fishier" stretch of river...weeds, fallen trees, lily pads, you name it. I was sure the place was full of bass, pickerel, pike, etc.
You can imagine my disappointment when, after 3 hours of near nonstop casting of lures and live-lining shiners, that we didn't get a single bite...not "a single fish", but a single bite.
We headed back to 2 Bridges Rd. and turned upstream into the Pompton River. After just one hour there, we had gotten four or five fish (all small, and all bass). The famous Passaic Pike were MIA that day.
