north jersey pike

[kmofom]

I've been lurking for a extremely long time and have to say all you guys have some great info. It's helped me come a long way. I'm usually fishing for large mouth but with my tight schedule now I would like to fish for some pike.

Im currently living between central jersey and nc with my new job so I barely have any time to fish. I'm hoping you guys could help me out with figuring out where to go. My buddy and I are planning on going up north tomorrow morning for the day to attempt to find pike.

I'm not looking for anyones secret spots just some guidance to find some. I've never really fished up that way and I know it's last minute but any help would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone is up for it I'm always down to meet new people if someone wants to come out with is. We will be fishing shorelines so no boat or kayak at the moment.

These are 2 of the 100's of largemouths I have caught this year. First and foremost all fish were catch and release and swam strongly away.

First one was around 4.5 lbs and second is 5.5lbs or so and 21.5 inches
