Tips for pike fishing

[GraysonEverett]

Hey guys I am in Illinois and getting ready to do some pike fishing tomorrow on a river. The spot is a creek that runs down and meets the river. Gets around 3-5 feet deep, no more than 5 though. Have had some luck with some big pike in the summer, but now the weather got to 30 degrees for a little bit, and now its back to 70 this week. With these conditions, what type of lures should I be throwing or would the better bet to use creek chubs on a bobber this time of year? Maybe the area is too shallow and the pike have moved cus of the weather? Any tips is appreciated.
