Default RE: using power bait or Gulp

I mostly use power grubs and just recently tried the Gulp with success on eye's! I simply run them with a jighead, the type is dependant on the presentation, location or structure I am fishing. If fishing spinner rigs I run bait on my hooks as the blades and beads give it the profile.

Last night we started out with 3" pump/chart power grubs and as nightfall drew close switched to orange gulps, both were used on 1/4 round jighead. We found the fish hanging in a weird spot for this lake in 6-10 feet on a large mud flat with minimal structure, the strike zone was very narrow for anything with size. The only methods we could continuely find good fish was drifting with a decent wind and then switching to electric to troll this flat as the wind died off. While when they jumped on the hook they were aggressive the lure had to be in the zone and rock steady to produce the intial strike. We tried casting and popping which only produced a few decent pike and smaller walleye or perch, as soon as we trolled or drifted bang...WALLEYE ON!
