Pike Lure Question

[antgogz]

Has anyone ever caught a pike on a rapala x rap??? I usually use them for smallies in the river but I just bought two big xraps that are ghost colored and one that is perch colored. I like the suspending, stop and go action on them. I caught one pike on a small xrap, but that has been it.

My next question is do you guys usually catch pike all summer long? I usually only go for pike up until may. I notice that when river levels are high they tend to be around. I want to keep going for them all summer, what's everyones opinion on summer pike???
