If your problem is the weeds try using a smaller sized shad with an owner beast offset hook. This can be fished weedless.

I would leave off the pike fishing until it starts to get colder. The grand canal is shallow enough and the water is already quite warm at 19 degrees. A long fight with a fish would not be good for the health of the fish.
