I feel very confident in saying 2 oz. based on wind of the day everything from 1 oz to 3 oz will be apropriate.

For those wondering, I like to order my bottom bouncers here:  TJ's Tackle (http://www.tjstackle.com)  My opinion only is 2 to 2 1/2 oz BB used the most with 1 1/2 or 3 oz used in special circumstances.

After all theses years Bruce your catching on. You should come up some year. The jig bite is pretty good.

Walleye are notorious tail biters. Especially when they are biting light. We always bring stinger hooks like those found here. http://www.northlandtackle.com/Category/main.taf?cat=200
If this isn't live copy and paste.
Attach it to the last hook on your rig and cover it with the last bit of your crawler

Good tip Mike!  I like to use stinger hooks when jig fishing.

I always fish with lighter bottom bouncers unless the wind is moving ya around too much. It gives a lighter touch because most times the Walleye bite is extremely light and I can "feel" it sooo much better with lighter tackle. I also jig for them, casting into rock piles and slowly working / popping it back to the boat with a 3/16th oz. head with brown or chartreuse 2-3in single or double tail grub, always tipped with part of a night crawler. I love to fish so much, I hate to waste precious fishin time even when I go to shore for a potty break I take my gear and fish from shore while I wait for ride to come back. I have caught quite a few from the bank with this jigging technique. Pulls them right out of their afternoon hiding spots in the rock rubble.
