Tactics
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
Gear
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. A thunderstorm is possible — bring a rain jacket, and pack up at the first rumble of thunder.
Summary
Worth going — it's a productive day.
Why this forecast
The computed water temperature is around 17 °C — inside the 8–20 °C comfort range for Pike, so baseline activity is high.
