In a kayak tournament on saturday - wondering if anyone had any ideas how to fish the islands for early season pike??

 

Ive been once, stuck around the pike cut, did ok. nothing spectacular..

 

any tips or advice would be welcome!!

Slow retrieve with typical pike spoons did pretty well for me the last time I was there...

Husky jerks, long pauses...

Spinner baits will also give success

the 3rd cell on the lake side has some really big fish bring a good pair of leather gloves

seriously there are some really big badass fish in there

ontario place is another good spot with it shut down now get back in where the marina is and check that out

thanks for the replies! was a slow day - cold, wet and windy! soft plastics seemed to be the key.
