Title: Re: Bait size

When it comes to fishing for Walleye in places like Wabakimi and I'm guessing Woodland Caribou (I'll find out this summer) I'm pretty sure I could catch my limit using a shoe lace and a safety pin.  These place are so non-pressured that fish will go after just about anything.  For those targeting trophy wallys, well that takes more skill, obviously, and shape, color and size of lure, presentation, retrieve, time of day, time of year and habitat are all going to matter.  When it comes to Walleye, I have two favorite lures for late summer fishing - Rapala Taildancers that run 15, 20 and 30 feet as well as deep diving L.C. Pointers which run about 12 to 15 feet.  In stained waters I like chartreuse and yellow and I always seem to have luck with firetiger. This summer I'm going to try a few Husky Jerks as well, I'm told blue is good.  God, I can't wait to get out there!
