Honestly my pike in the islands have all come on daredevle though i did lose one with a goby colored senko on a 1oz jig-head when i was experimenting
Weeds at 15-30' in hot summer months
Weeds at 8-12' in Spring & Fall when its cooler
Weeds along drop offs are biggest key
if from shore in clayton go right behind keybank is a spot
That is what i know mostly good luck i dont live in the river or get to fish it a lot though i would love too
