I fish mostly in PA, and haven't caught a whole lot pike over 30 inches, but in the course of fishing for smallmouth over the last few years, I have noticed that Pike take quite a fancy to plain white spinnerbaits with tandem willow leaf blades, usually in the 1/2 to 3/4 ounce range. This works especially well for smallmouth, and I have found Pike as well, at night. Especially when you get near lights around marinas, boat launches, or near any inflowing creeks, rivers, and streams. Another unexpected catch for me has been Walleye, usually in the early spring. I've caught my largest Walleye around a certain boat launch late at night under the lights on a 1/2 ounce white spinnerbait. I know it isn't the most popular lure out there for Pike, but it has produced decent results for me.
