Grass Pickerel

[zippyFX]

I just found out that the lake we will be camping at this weekend has a good chance for Grass Pickerel. I just wanted to get some opinions about how to target them.

From Kens recent reports it would seem that small spinners, small spoons, and small cranks and small top waters are my best options. My biggest challenge will likely be keeping away from small/largemouth bass. There is a bait store near by and from what I read, medium sized minnows should be OK.

I take worms on a bobber are a non-starter. Do these guys need a leader or will 6 pound fluro be OK?

There is a very slim chance at bowfin and yellow bullhead but not sure I will target these.
