I suggest live bait if lures aren't working. If you can catch your own use it. Pike will hit baby sunnies, white perch, and suckers if you can get any of them and put them in an air rador. I reeled in a smallmouth bass once on a lure and had a pike gash it in half. I prefer lures but sometimes they aren't hitting and can't resist the live bait. Try it out.
