Re: Odd color to this pike
When I was working for fish and game up in Connecticut one of our most successful pike marshes was on the Connecticut River, which goes all the way up to Mass and Vermont and floods much worse and more often than the Passaic.

Re: Odd color to this pike
Breeding or not I'm thinking we don't want them too. Too many pike is a bad thing. They are not picky about what they eat and since adult pike prefer to eat fish 30-40% of their own length, well you can do the math. Thats a 10-12" bass for a 30" pike. Ever wonder why u don't see more bass?

Re: Odd color to this pike
They can eat fish 40% their weight but they don't PREFER it. They prefer to eat smaller less spiny fish with a more slender shape because those fish are easier to swallow and digest. Fish like suckers, shiners, trout, pickerel and other pike. I'm sure they eat some bass but they'd rather eat other fish and there are many of examples of great bass fisheries that also have pike. Not sure where you're coming up with this info

As for bass, I've had some good days too(best day 15) doesn't mean anything though. Some days its all pike, while others its all bass. U never know. I always think things could be better. One thing for sure is all bass - even the tiniest ones - are fat like going to explode fat :-)

Re: Odd color to this pike
You think bass are as easy to swallow as a perch? Lol. Sounds like you are a bass fisherman who just doesn't like bigger predators in the same place as our your little bass. They only stock pike in a handfull of places in this state and bass are pretty much everywhere. If you don't like pike then go fish somewhere else.

Re: Odd color to this pike
This is just getting silly. You're taking quotes and facts and using them in a nonsensical way trying to apply them as you see fit. What does one example of lakes in California have anything to do with any of the lakes and rivers in NJ? Almost all the species people like to target in NJ like bass, trout, pike, muskie, walleye, carp are introduced species to the state and many of the lakes with those species like Lake Hopatcong, Pompton, Deleware river, Passaic are all great fisheries. They eventually find a balance in the ecosystem and coexist just fine.
