I would try useing big minnow the bigger the better
also try use blue gold or silver lure
and try useing lure that look like sunfish bass crappie perch pike and even walleye especially one that look like walleye pike love walleye it is there many food source people think that perch or sunfish are there many food source but I have caught more pike on lure that look like walleye then lure that look like panfish.

i have ever done it but minnow work great for most fish fedex is right bigger is better

[mithman100]

bigger minnow = bigger pike

[newjersey_fisherman]

some times to big is not good they want easy eats

[mithman100]

well yeah lol but like if all you want is trophy fish you need big bait so the littler non trophy fish dont take your minnow

[newjersey_fisherman]

yes that is true
