Well right now, if you pitch light jigs + minnows along rocky or mixed sand/gravel shorelines, you should be in business. The late spring is keeping our local male walleyes (Western WI) in the shallows, and I imagine that they will be shallow by you when the season opens in a couple of days.
if you get the itch before inland opener you could try pool 4
I’d try a jig and minnow combo on Independence or Gray’s bay of Minnetonka. Fish the north end of Indy off the east side of the island.

There is nothing but dog fish and stunted sunnies in that area 
And a couple big mamma ski’s too!! 
I know about the ski in that area but did not know about the dog fish. Dog fish can be a under rated fish. They put up a good fight. Just because they are ugly does not mean they are not worth catching.

Yeah, kind of like BK but we all still like him.
Pool 2 should be a good in a few weeks. Trolling shad raps on the shoreline near the confluence or hidden falls would be a good bet.

whats your favortive moment hunting with a buddy?
When they offer to drag my deer the whole way back to the truck. Especially when its over a half mile.
What happens in the woods,stays in the woods!!! 
Taking my first deer at 12 years old with my dad at my side….then watching my son take his first deer last year. Can’t wait to see my daughter take her first! 
My first ever gun hunt had to go to the bathroom got outta my blind walked into my shed looked through the window as soon as I got in there and bam a 8 pointer went out the door shot twice missed and watched the deer run right towards dads stand and heard the boom! and the crashing of the deer

x2. I don’t have a daughter however but watching my boy tag out last season was tops. Dad dragging my first deer out for me when I was twelve. 90LB. spike that out weighed me by 10lbs 
With my old man. My first sesaon hunting tweleve yrs old. We sat in the same tree just opposite sides.It was opening morning not even an hour into the hunt a six point came in he was right in front of my dad. He was telling me there was a deer right in front of me but really it was in front of him. So anyways once I seen the deer he was stopped behiind a branch I couldn’t shoot, so the deer walked a bit my dad grunted to make him stop and once again he was behind a branch. Well once I got a shot my dad put his hand on my back so I wouldn’t fall out of the tree when I shot. Boom dead deer. Sad thing is he dropped right away we went and got the truck and there was a moster right in the same spot where I shot mine. Sorry so long but lots of details. Oh yeah at the age of 12 I prolli on ly weighed 80 lbs.
Nothing ever beats shooting your first deer with a family member right there. Although I wasn’t with my dad when I got that decent 10 pointer, he was there making the drive to me 
Too bad my uncle missed and had to have the “kid” show him up 
Watching my buddy Paul Dump “36”! last Thursday!
Watching my Boy Rufus do his thing of chasing birds anytime!
Watching my wife smack her first Doe and Buck with her DXT!
