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......

Well id agree about what you posted about pike but honestly I've caught them on almost everything. The only thing I haven't seen a pike take in this area is dead bait. I know in other parts of the country they fish dead baits but there is far to much life in the passaic for that tactic to work (atleast from what I've seen anyway). When in doubt drown some XL shiners and throw the big baits on another pole and I'm sure you'll have better success. As far as bass fishing is concerned they are very tempermental. I brake out the bag of tricks sometimes to get them and be veryyyyy patient in cold water but they'll still eat. Swartswood bass fishing isn't easy though so don't get discouraged. Best advice I can give there is bring a fishfinder, search for ledges, and be patient.
