Good catch buddy. I'm sure that wind was horrible yesterday. North west winds suck on Swartswood. Just keep at em and things will slowly start to pan out. Remember fall is here and the fish will be moving deeper and deeper. Good luck!!!

Thanks guys,

I know Fall means BIG pike and I live 2 minutes from the Passaic and know of a few very secluded spots.

I was thinking about getting a big perch pattern jointed and/or swim bait. Is this a good way to get a good size pike right now? I know the swim bait would be better to fish deeper so I may go with that.


Thanks!

Get yourself a couple Mepps inline spinners size 5, couple of spinnerbaits, a few Rapala Husky Jerks in fire tiger, black and silver. Throw in a few Dare devils, red and white and the yellow with red dots. These items will catch you PIKE, GUARANTEED!!!!

TOO FUNNY MITCH!!!! I used to say if the reports said guys were catching them on pieces of dog crap in three feet of water YOU KNOW there's gonna be 90% of the boats out fishing DC in 3FT!!!!!!!!!!!

I been frustrated too but just gotta stay with it and change up to fishing fall patterns. I love the way i've been catching them and that's the hardest thing to do, changing from something that's BEEN working real good!

What you said is funny as hell...what I said we all know I wasn't kidding and it's true.....I know how I am, when something works good I go out and grab everything I can get in the local 60 mile radius..I stock up like a squirrel......I'm just saying... I'm not unique and I am sure you all do the same thing.......LOL......
