Drift over grass bed in deep water with a red devil spoon with Chrome flash on the bottom side always works for me,
Good luck 👍🏽👍🏽🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐠🐠🐋🐋🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅

I've caught pike on every thing in my tackle box. Whether i was trying to catch one or not.

Not familiar with that lake, but Northerns are ambush predators. Fish the outside edges of weeds, near submerged logs, etc. Use a Johnson Silver Minnow with a trailer, a Mepps spinner, a yellow 5 of Diamonds Daredevle spoon, or red and white or black and white. Good luck!

That lake is great for bass and pan fish. I occasionally get bit off while fishing for them. I don't want any snot rockets in my boat anyway

Don't really have any advice for you but I hope you figure it out!

Generally concentrate on 4-10 feet of water. Ideal is to find 1-3 feet of open water over weedbeds. If the weed line is abrupt due to stained water; then troll or cast along the deep edge of the weedline. Use any plug or spoon you wish. When pike go on a bite; keep your fingers out of the water. Good luck.

Just my 2-cents.
Red & white are pike colors.
Don't neglect a spinner bait.
If you're top water inclined the Whopper Plopper can be killer or if you're really adventurous check out this you tube.
