What is the best bait for catching walleyes?

Walleye are a species of predator fish and as such it is a good idea to use bait that is slightly different to that which you would use for other types of fish. It is very important to choose the correct type of bait for catching walleyes. It is a good idea to do some research into the walleyes before you try to fish for them as they have some special habits and aspects that will have an impact when it comes to catching one whilst fishing. There is no real secret to fishing for walleye. It is more down to luck than anything else. The bait that you use for walleye fishing should be geared towards the special eyesight of the walleye. It is very important to remember that the walleye do not hunt like other fish, as they do not use their sense of smell. This predator type of fish has a vast degree of sight and they use this to track down their food. This vast sight is due to the membrane that is behind the retinas, causing the eyes to look rather milky and glazed over. This actually makes them look blind. The appearance of their eyes gives them a massive advantage especially in the sunshine, as it allows them to reflect the light that they do not require and this blinds the other fish. In the very dark places other fish would not be able to see; however, the walleye are able to see as the membrane filters even the smallest amount of light enabling them to see. It is very important to take this information into account when you are looking for a bait to use when fishing for walleye. The walleye have very sensitive nerve endings on the lining of their body and this enables them to feel the smallest of vibration that are made by nearby fish. This means that if you are using bait to bottom bounce or a spinner it is very clear and easy to make the necessary vibrations in order to attract the walleye. This makes it very easy for fishermen to target the walleye as opposed to other species of fish.
