the baisics are pretty much the same here there and yander.
work you way all the way around the beds. no telling what is staged where. pike hang just inside the weed bed for cover and come out to feed.
dont bother fishing any deaper than 20 feet unless you are looking at perch or cisco.
Crickets are great if you can get your hands on them. Black ones are even better. "wild" store bought are brown
Live minnow is find under a bobber if allowed works great for eyes and pike perch and gills.
there is the old worm method, nothing wrong with putting on a peice of worm if all else fails.
stop at a local bait shop in the area to see what is hitting on what, they would sure like the business and may have some insite.. remember they have had a lot of flooding in many areas up that way..
good luck and let us know how you mannaged, even if skeeters was all that bites.
