Heading up to Sec Lake in November with my dad for 6 days and we're looking at trying our luck with a bit of fishing. We are both terrible fishermen and really know nothing about how to do it right (we're usually worms and bobbers kinds of guys). Any pointers as to what to use and where? We won't have a canoe so we're limited to fishing from shores. Not looking for secret hot spots for fish or anything, just some general types of areas where we might get lucky.
Thanks!

Pike will still be active and open. You can try casting a rapala type bait from shore. A slower 'stop and go' retrieve with long pauses is usually a good technique when the water is cold. The same can also work well for smallmouth bass. Also pike have pretty mean teeth. A small steel leader and a pair of pliers for extracting the hook without getting your fingers too close are recommended.
