Pickeral / Pike

[420*NightCrawler]

Pretty much anything you use on a Pike or Pickerel will also catch bass. So if you're not catching Pike or Pickerel, there's a good chance you'll be catching Bass. Also stick to topwater lures mainly during morning and night when the water is quiet and the light is lower. When the water gets rougher and the sun brighter, change over to spinnerbaits, husky jerks and senko worms. Bass do well on the Senko worms, but if you pass one by a Pike or Pickerel, it will very likely take it. The dark green ones work excellent for me as far as Bass, even knockoff dark green worms.

Most of us have the opposite problem.

Here is a good link to an article on the NJ F&W site all about the pike in the Passaic river.
