I would start at the weedbeds at Williams Fork first if I were you. But I would not force the issue! If all you see is small snakes get out of there!
I have always read that big Pike are really a cold water fish. Once it gets to warm in the shallows they head for deep flats and rock piles in 20-35 feet of water. Yesterday was a good example of that! They just plain weren't there? I have also seen them suddenly reappear in the fall along the dam at Spinney.
If I had your boat, I wold troll some deep divers over points and the deep flats along the South shore by the inlet. Remember those rock humps we found on the topo map two years ago when we were going ice fishing? They were in about 30 feet of water right where the channel swung into the shoreline on the inlet end of the lake. A great place to ambush Kokes or small bows?
You could also jig some big soft plastics along that stretch with your electric trolling motor?
