Drop shotting pike minnows in not so much the main channel but little bays or around island.. Mepps spinners. Kvd crank baits in chrome or Rapala jerk baits in chrome.. best luck we have is pike minnows on bottom 10-25ft

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

I'm a top water guy and have good luck on weed edges with Frogs, Whopper Ploppers, Zara Spooks, and don't forget tried and true Bassorino's. I was up in August and I have to replace the trebles on an old Red and White the Pike tore it up so bad.

Nothing fancy...The Walmart ones are usually $1.99. I just lay it top off a weed bed and twitch back across the top.
