I need tips on winter walleye

[G8RB8]

Just after ice off in most areas the water temps are optimal for walleye to begin spawning. I'm not familiar with your area, but I would start searching for the areas they are using for spawning like up feeder creeks or at the mouths of incoming water. If that isn't available look for gravel shoreline areas and troll slowly in 5' to 10' with a shallow running stick bait like a Thunderstick. Also look for any areas that has newly emerging grass and fish it slow hopping a 1/8 oz. jig and 3" twister tail. Most important thing is to keep searching shallow during the prime hours and a bit deeper (10' to 20') in the middle of the day if you haven't hit them shallow.
