Farrington Pike Question

[RyanMac14]

Hey all. Decided since the weather has started to cool down that it is time to get back on the boat tomorrow. I have never fished for pike before so decided to give it a shot. Was gonna hit farrington at sunrise and see what I can do. Need any tips I can get on a set up (I understand a wire leader is recommended but what type of hook as well?) and where there is a bait shop close by for shiners or herring? Figured ill try throwing a spinner and senko as well but without pole holders on the boat i am weary to just lay the other rod down.Any advice on anything is appreciated.
