If you want to catch pike closer to shore is a good bet. Cast some spoons (any spoons work) or try some crank baits. If you are buying some try the berkley flicker shades and minnows as they are much cheaper than rapala but work just as well. If you don't mind spending some $$ the rapala ripping raps in size 7 are hard to beat. Cast out let it hit bottom. Lift your rod about a foot if using braided line or RIP it up if using mono. Let it fall on a slack line. Reel in the slack. Rinse repeat until at the boat. If that doesn't work let it sink a little and do a slow retrieve. The rattle in those is like no other. Attracts from far. As for colours. I like the fire tiger, red crawdad, silver.
Other option is larger spinners. Cast out and slow retrieve
Good luck
