I'm in a similar position, in that I'd like to shift gears to walleye now that the kokes are slowing down. Truth be told, I'm a trout and salmon fisherman first, so I've not caught a walleye all year.
I've had success for big walleye in years past trolling crankbaits 20 to 30 feet down on the downrigger. It's not what I'd call fast fishing, and this method probably stems from my salmon techniques, but it does work.
I've also had success for big walleye fishing nothing but a 1/4 oz. Jig head with a Gulp leech on it. I've noticed when I run out of leeches and switch to worms, size goes down.
Hoping you can give me a few pointers on where to find the eyes this year since I'm coming in cold. Still trying to talk myself out of floating around strawberry all Saturday coaxing the couple of salmon that are still willing to bite.
