You definitely want to stock up on jigheads and plastics, I can't remember what's available at your level but if you have the option to buy plastic worms it's definitely worth it as they are most suited to bottom dragging or L&D. You need a kayak to get the best of it but it isn't an absolute essential as they're reachable from the shore. You can pick them up practically anywhere on the lake, including Unis, but the prime area is from the Fairytale dock toward the bouy in line with the channel and the bouy in line with the end of the Sandy Cape shoreline, it forms a triangle. I've had several Unis, but I believe Mitch has spent more time fishing for them than me so he can hopefully contribute more. They will take cranks, spoons and spinners, but the soft plastics outfish them by several multitudes in my experience. Plastic worms work wonders, either lift and drop or stop and go along the bottom. That is down to your personal preference, heavier gear = less XP. 8 ft 6/0 Lemon Crank does work too but once again, you won't catch as many.A 15lb class setup will do you, or a 20lb if you want to play it safe ( the Walleyes top 20lb ). And when you find the sweet spot to cast to, you can get 2 a minute. Yes they cost extra for every fish you catch but I did a Pike only day and hit $29,000 cash so it more than pays for itself. 7/0 Hook with shiners is what most people use. Now that was only 8 catches in 3 hours of peak time, if you concider how many pike you catch in the same time floating with shiners then it shows how ineffective the lures really are here for pike. The only thing that have some moderate success for me is the big #6/0 spinner. Popper 4/0 : 2 catches ( lots of miss hits ) I did some more testing during another peak time: ( Almost exactly the same as EzFishLure's setup, just a different reel ) The problem is they don't bite on lures. The problem is not the gear, I have strong gear. If going for pike you dont need to cast far so this is an ok setup :D especialy combined with a kyak :D Originally posted by darrren:i use cosmocast and a cyclone55 is to strong for any of the rods atm i use it with 0.6 floro and can use drag 5 safly hope this helps
