Spinnerbaits, swimbaits, spoons with plastic trailers. Try weed edges and back on sloughs. Don't forget your leader either b/c I lost 30"+ pike because I didn't have a leader. With the fish went the one and only lure I had that caught the fish, but I was able to immitate and improvize. I will try and post a picture later this week. The pike are very very fiesty. The 31" pike I caught and landed I would put up against any fish as far as pound for pound for best fighter. I have caught fiesty pike before, but I think the one I caught was on roids.

I caught a nice 32 1/2" 13 lb Pike on Sunday in the P.O river north of Box Canyon Dam. On a silver spoon. I did a report, it has a pic of me with my fish, but since it was my first post-I may have messed it up. Go to the back water & slough areas, even just a "divet" area that has calm, shallow water-that's where I caught mine about 15 ftish off shore-from a boat.
