Fished for a couple hrs this afternoon. Caught one pike on a mepps spinner in the first 15min. Thought it was going to be a good day. That ended up being the only fish

. Had 1 other fish miss. Did see a family of deer though.

nice fish...

how were the skeeters? did you pound the banks in either direction?

I had Off with me and was wearing pants so bugs weren't a problem. I could only go in one direction, water level was still to high to get under the bridge. Fished a good stretch, tired a bunch of different colors and baits. Water was pretty brown in color but that's how it usually is.

I think i no where that is. I've been there a couple times. Walk down river where the river splits and there's more structure there and it get narrower. theres alot of them there around the trees. Its prob like 3/4 ths of a mile away from that bridge. The hike is worth it and i dont think people go up that far because i saw no foot prints in the mud.

Nice PIKE dude!!!!! Waters a lil FUBAR in some areas but it's still manageable. They'll be feeding heavy for a while. Just be careful when that water gets too warm. Red fins and spots on the Pike means there stressed out. Keep em in the water if you can. I know it's hard to manage on the Passaic's muddy banks. It's all good!!! Catch em up!!!!
