September, jig heads (1/4-1/3 oz) and yellow or white twister tails, slow moving deep water. Really simple and lots of fun.

Oh before you do keep a pike, just double check to make sure it is not externally tagged.  There are a selection of females that have been externally tagged (believe 6 or so) to try to figure out where they are spawning.
