Personally i like to be on the water right at ice out, in shallow water they are everywhere. I like to use spoons and Rapala X-Raps. Thats what works Best for me up here in PA.
The Fall seems to be better for Big pike. Thats when i tend to favor to X-Raps more, but i also like to use bigger swim baits like the Yum Money minnow in the 5 to 6 inch range.
Hope this helps
