au natural of course. nice fat chubs, lake shiners, dace,leeches, nightcrawlers; they all work at some point in time. you often find walleye that are particular to one kind of bait, and the next time, something different. dont be afraid to try something new. a change in presentation will often trigger some passive walleyes into hitting. oh!! the smaller the hook, the better. i use nothing bigger than a #2 mustad, eagleclaw. grumpymoe
