redfinned pike like them spinner bait!!!!!

Try a small red rooster tail , retrieving the lure fairly rapid. Fish it along the edges of vegetation and downed trees.

Fish a small (1/8-1/16) white rooster tail about 1-2" below the surface. Use a medium-fast retrieve, because the fish have a habit of following the lure before biting it. Fish them under bridges, across trees, and along steep banks. However, bend the barbs down (pickerel have a habit of getting the hook stuck deep in their throat, and if you try to remove it, it could kill them.)
