I use both. When I go out specifically for esox I'll try and pick up a sucker or a few Xtra large shiners to drag around behind the boat on a quick-strike rig under a float.. other than that its all artificial baits.
I've done nothing but cast for 'em up until this coming season. A close fishing partner had a stroke last year and tires out quickly so he switched over to trolling mainly so I'll be out learning that this comming season. However, I have caught a few of them (unintentionaly) trolling for Walleyes.. they seem to like crank baits tipped with 12" walleyes better than a plain crank bait.
My normal esox baits range from Suick's with a modified bend in the tail, to Cobra jigs.. its a sickness.
