Gulp works wonders. I have caught many limits of walleye on 4" minnow, smelt color. Theres also finns plastics. Blue\white jig heads have been working here in the Detroit river. We use chartreuse jigs and body's if the waters dirty. The only time I get live bait is for ice fishing!
These fish were caught on a 3/4 oz jig, 4" berkley gulp minnow smelt colored.
