I might fish for them since they're good in cold weather. Any tips, Ken?

Hiya thmyorke1 - The Passaic is ideal for Pike....... with all of the blow-downs, debris(I`m referring to brush, trees etc. here) & murky water........ makes perfect habitat for those toothy critters. I guess some guys go after `em with bait(dead or alive)..... never tried it myself. I always use various lures with an extremely slow retrieve this time of year. Like any other type of fishin`..... sometimes ya get into a few & sometimes ya don`t....... just gotta keep pluggin` away at it! Good luck!
