[QUOTE="KDM, post: 26159, member: 314"] On the sheyenne river, I rarely use live bait. I have found I don't need to very often. If I do use live bait, it's a half a crawler on a 1/16th oz jig under a bobber, aka bobber rig. Most of the time the walleyes don't have very much time to look a bait over in the current so they hit whatever looks even remotely like food. Even with the bobber rig, I rarely get that tap tap tap kind of bite from a walleye. Usually the bobber just rockets under. Using gulp, power baits, or other "Real" type plastics doesn't seem to increase or decrease my catch rates. I normally suit up with an 1/8th oz jig and a twister or paddle tail and start fishing.
