Pompton River weekend report: Pike, plus some blood for good measure
Been trying some different spots in hopes of finding a big boy, so I got out in the kayak for a few hours friday night, saturday early morning, and sunday late afternoon. Ended up with 3 Pike each day, with a few Smallies and Largemouth mixed in. No monsters, but mostly average fish (low 20's) with a few healthy looking smaller guys hitting my big lures. Fish were taking crankbaits in the middle of the day and topwater in the morning and sunset. The pictured smallmouth CRUSHED a spook off a weed bed and won Best Fight for the weekend
 .     As for the blood part, as I landed the 2nd of my Pike saturday morning, homeboy wasnt too happy and threw a tantrum in the boat. I looked down and had some new jewelry in my hand. Having a pissed Pike on one treble and your hand on the other was fun to say the least  . Got the Pike off, then had a buddy help remove it using the good old fishing line removal technique. 20lb test snapped the first time (ouch), but 65lb braid got the job done and hook out. I suggest becoming familiar with it, because you WILL need it at one point if you are as avid a fisherman as I am! Cleaned, bandaged up, and back on the water to do more damage. Enjoy.

Re: Pompton River weekend report: Pike, plus some blood for good measure
Very nice catching, Skunk !!!!! That right there is the reason I NEVER use a lure with a treble hook on it in a kayak for pike, bluefish or pretty much anything that could and usually does go crazy when trying to release it, especially that most of the times I am alone.
Way to get it taken care of and heading back out!! Great job! Danny V
