Pike at Farrington Question

Pike at Farrington

I know that's probably been ask millions of times. But I swear all I seems to be able is to hear about people catching pike at Farrington Lake but never ever ever seen actually anyone doing just that. Not to mention catching it myself.

So the question. Has anyone had ever any luck landing one there or should I call the MythBusters and clear that one up once and for all?

After spruce run meet and greet managed to sneak away to Farrington toward night time and again heard about pike getting caught the night before by the summer camp area. Man I swear I will probably see a Bigfoot before I see a pike out of Farrington.

I'm determined to catch a pike from Farrington this winter. Today is my 12th trip there this winter and I still haven't caught one, and I've been trying lots off different baits and tried all over the lake. I live less than 15 minutes from there and probably do at least 10 trips a year there through the ice targeting pike. Last time I caught one was back in 2011...I'm due! Good luck!

I feel you Matt,

I swear trout and pike are the only two species that I still have to catch at Farrington. As mentioned on Friday two were pulled out by the summer camp area. One was a 37 and second one I don't know.

Good luck man you are def due.

Andre, with the time put in there last year between me and you, I would like to think either you were lied to or that they caught the only two. With how dried up it got last year I would think i fished every square foot of it lol Hopefully one day we will catch one of the apparent 2 that still roam there

Ryan,

Man I know. But I was there mostly at night and only twice during the day. I guess I am so gullible that I believe anything but man I just want to believe that pike at Farrington is true.

On a side note I was really surprised that I did not got kicked out from the ice when I got there. There was an East Brunswick cop at the parking lot and he was nice enough to let us get on the ice and fish without so much of a word of protest. Kudos to that officer.

I never fished there but you say it got dried out at one point. Well I know a shallow lake (private) that had nice pike in it. The lake is avg 5 ft depth with a few spots to 7 and 10 deepest. Anyway the damn broke one year and that summer with the water down 3-4 ft big pike just started floating belly up. I saw 3-4 my self and many more reported. No one has caught a pike at this lake since then. Something to think about.
