Great job, nice Stripahs, love the reports !!!!
Correction to my earlier response to this post - There is in fact a dam that separates Overpeck Creek from the Hackensack River. It is located underneath the turnpike where it crosses the creek and operates as a ‘tidal gate’ that can be opened and closed. I don’t know how often or for what reason that gate is ‘opened’ but apparently some stripers must sneaknthrough when it is. Any stripers who venture into the creek would presumably be stuck there when the gate is closed.
