We typically head out to devils lake each spring at ice out for pike, I'm not opposed to this at all, just didn't know if it was worth it. We'll be fishing from shore or possibly from a canoe. My boat is in the shop

We aren't looking for trophies (although we'll take them) and we aren't set on any particular species. We have gear from 3wts to 12wts. So whatever.
Does any one have any advice? We'll be fine with traveling a ways as we were supposed to drive 6 hours on Thursday to Wisconsin, so we can drive 6 hours from Fargo to somewhere else.
