I love a challenge!

I hear ya. Just don't want you to overthink the problem. Get good gear (rod/reel/line) and bigger spoons than you would ever throw for pike here, and you'll be OK. If they are shallower, a light Williams Wabbler will do. If a little deeper, go with a Len Thompson #4 or #16 in the dimpled pattern. The heaviest one we fish regularly is a 300 series Eppinger Husky-Devle.
We use fish finders to find the drop-offs, and then the fish depth, and we have used downriggers set to a maximum of 30-40 feet.
We are headed to Reindeer Lake, so that is a 1050km - 13.5 hour drive for us. On the way out, we overnight in La Ronge, making it a quick and simple first day.
If you want more info, PM me.
