Re: Additional Passaic Stocking?
Why bother with tigers when you have big pike???. The tigers don't breed, the pike do, the pike are MUCH more ready biters, the pike fight exactly like a musky does, I know that for a fact as I have caught both, and the pike are certainly better eating IF you care to eat them.. Pike are white and sweet.. Tigers are much more grainy, and just aren't that good.. I only tried one years ago, and it was lousy.. had pike only a few times, as I almost always release them, and it was very good.. boney though... Why put muskies in to compete??. The pike resource you have in the Passaic is phenomenal.. I live in NY state, and we catch pike, but have very few waters that match the river fishery you have in the Passaic.. Lots in the St Lawrence, but typically you get 50 "hammer handles" to every big one... I say let the pike reign, and keep the tigers out.. Its redundant really... bob
