This weekend and last; hybrid and pike

[nate01]

Knowing that I couldn't make the m&g, I decided to try for hybrids last weekend (October 30). Boated around for a while and found some good marks in 37 feet of water--managed one hybrid and three panfish in 3 hrs of fishing with livers. Water temp was 57 degrees, still pretty warm so hoping it picks up. Yesterday I hit the Passaic. Are rivers supposed to have water in them? Finally landed my first pike of the year on a spinnerbait. Last year I had good success on pike but this year was way off for me for some reason, so good to finally connect.
