I catch most of my waldos with a big jighead and a live minnow or worm or leech. My favorite are glow in the dark with a little proppeller on them.
If you can't find the fish then troll spinner rigs with live bait, or crankbaits. Once you find them, drop anchor and start jigging.

The very best way to catch these fish is by long-line trolling a crank-bait or minnow plug type lure 150 feet or more behind the boat.
You can try quietly wading in the shallows and casting a leadhead, minnow plug or crank-bait and this method can be productive but I have only caught one walleye that way.
Good Luck!

Jessica, i visit adhere with my unique answer. The lures i discussed will artwork for many varieties of fish. the only element i'm going to upload is that if he does not have a jigging rod, lures are actually not plenty use. some ice fishermen do all their fishing with traps or tip-ups. you will get a astonishing jigging rod with a reel for extra or less $25 and a few jigging lures won't fee you somewhat some money. The handle field does not could be crammed to the brim. 2 or 3 jigging Rapalas and a pair Swedish zits will make him extra effective than chuffed. no could desire to pass overboard.

The hydra fishing lure maybe one of the best all around lures in the world. I've have never used a lure quite like this one at it doesent just catch you walleye but in can catch you bass, northern pike, muski, and trout too.
Trust me, I have used this lure and it does work. If you are interested then check out the website.
Good Fishing!

The best bait rig I have ever used is a 3/8 ounce rainbow colored lead head jig tipped with a rainbow or redtail chub and jig it off the bottom anywhere from 15 to 35 feet of water. The fish are shallower in the morning and evening and move to the deeper water in the mid-day. You can troll but move very slowly!

Do you have a couple hours? lol Walleyes are almost a religion for some of us. Assuming you just want to catch walleyes, try a lead head jig, with a white mister twister. or a minnow or nightcrawler. Walleyes are USUALLY near the bottom, so you need to get anything you throw, down where they live. Rapalas, bombers, or even small spoons all work. Of course, they all will work yesterday. No matter when you fish, they'll be biting yesterday.

In Lake Huron, either Saginaw Bay or the Charities, trolling a worm harness or plastic whichever they're hitting on. Of course, on a lazy day, to just let the boat drift and drag a worm harness with a big crawler and wait for the anticipation of that big hit you know will come. You can't beat fishing for Walleyes.The best part are those clear, almost see through fillets frying in the pan.

Although "new" to Northern Water's (6 years), I've caught many Wally's since living in MN, (originally from FLA).
I have found that a 1/4 OZ Black jig with a Berkley ,Power-Bait, Black, Swirltail Grub works best for "casting" situations,(There are also good "leech" soft-plastic that work too!).
Use "4/10 Fireline" if they are "spooking". If you aren't getting any "hits", use that same 1/4 OZ leadhead and put a minnow or leech on it and WHAM!
For trolling I prefer Rapalas or Yozuri.
Rapalas: jointed deep-divers in "Firetiger", or "Purple/Black". Original "Floater" in Silver/black or Gold/black for shallow "night-trolling".
Yozuri's: The Crystal Minnow is an EXCELLENT bait for trolling or casting. It has a wide "wobble" that really "calls them in" casting or trolling. The "lazer-tape" really reflect's well at night. Silver/black or Holographic-Gold.
If you DO plan to fish at night, try "glow" leadheads in 1/8-1/4 OZ. Make it tasty with a minnow or a "glow" curly-tailed grub body and you should be "set"!
Just be careful, night-fishing in unfamiliar waters can be dangerous.
Good luck! And catch some FISH!
