Not all live bait is created equal, (especially when you're chasing walleyes) so how do you know which bait to choose and when?

In this video, I break down when, where, why, and how to use leeches, nightcrawlers, and minnows to catch more walleyes in all types of conditions. Whether you’re fishing clear water, stained lakes, cold fronts, or summer basins — knowing which bait to choose can be the difference between a slow day and a full livewell.

You'll learn:

The strengths and weaknesses of each bait type

How water temps and weather affect bait choice

Which bait shines in spring vs summer vs fall

My go-to rigs and setups for each bait type

Why the "wrong" bait can hurt your chances — even if fish are biting

Whether you’re new to live bait fishing or just want to dial in your presentation, this guide will help you make the right call next time you hit the water.
