Passaic River fishing

[Grice53]

Hello all, I’ve recently joined because I am lost lol. I have been trying to catch some bass and pike in the Passaic River (stocked trout just don’t do much for me anymore lol) and I am 0-3 so far. My main problem is access. I do not have a kayak and am having trouble locating spots to fish from
Shore. I tried the Dundee dam and Pennington park so far and did not even see a fish swipe at my lures. Any tips would be much appreciated!
