I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before making the day harder than it needs to be.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Pike Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Pike Lake, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
