A trick I learned from an oldtimer, a big willow leaf rig usually used for trout with a heavy weight on it. Put it on a extra rod and every once in awhile thump the bottom along the weeds and stir things up a little. It usually brings out the bigger ones to investigate. If youre having problems with a pike hanging out catch him and release him into the weed bank thatll scare em out. O and If you arent seeing them within 10 minutes move on to the next likely spot.
excellent advice right here
