I wouldn’t waste your time with redshirt if your looking to “stock up” on pike. That Lake has been hammered pretty good and everyone I talked to that goes out there said they only catch maybe 2 or 3 hammerhandles in a day. If I were you I’d head out to figure 8 or one of the lakes in that area. Be careful though I guess the trail is real ruff. Also the winter parking starts around mile 2.5 of Nancy Lake pkwy, from there it’s roughly 4.5-5 miles to the redshirt trailhead, and from there it’s another 3 miles to the north end of the lake. Pm me if you are looking for other options.
