hi i was wondering where to fish for walleye from shore. even when the water is muddy and what is the best live bait to use can someone please help me thank you very much

Leeches have worked the best for me, fatheads would be my second choice and nightcrawlers would be my third choice.

Let us know what location you wish to fish, this matters ,to fine tune what to use. Here in the Ozarks, at Bull Shoals lake, White River , we do have some nice walleye, but not as large as up north. i caught a 3-4 pounder last July on the White River with just a live worm bouncing along the bottom very early in the morning, as Walleyes are nocturnal . I also went with a Friend close to Bull Shoals Dam on the White River where the limit is 6 any size on Barbless hooks and no live or scented bait. We used floating X-raps and Smithwick lures which worked well, my Buddy caught a nice 24+inch Walleye at night on spinning equipt. with 6 lb. line,lure was very light colored like white or pearl.His method was reel in a couple turns then pull up a little and let pause to settle,then repeat. We also caught nice Bass and some Trout we let go, cause it is a catch and release on Trout at that area. There are some good sites just on Walleye Fishing, do a simple search to locate them, Good Luck and Enjoy, AJ
