if you are fishing at pigeon in the spring what would be the best lure for pike?? can anyone help me out?

Whites will start being a bit more cooperative when the water gets below 50. A week or two and it should start up. (with as cold as it's been).

Pike at Pidgeon? - I generally target Walleyes out there (plentiful and nice size). I think you can still eat three for a $10 tag - hard to catch them under 43cm but after about 100 landed (ussually by noon) you should get a few keepers.

I'd suggest Wabamun for Pike - lot's and lot's of nice size Pike.

For Pike - in any lake - I like a Booya spinner bait (red, white or red/white), rapalas and predex plugs, and spinners (mepps #5's and Muskie killers). My fishing bud likes five of Diamonds and other spoons.

Pike are not finicky eaters. All steel and plastic tastes good to these snot monsters.
