    i live by a small, shallow lake. about 250 acres max depth 30 ft. i have seen walleyes up to 28 inches caught out of this lake but have only caught tiny ones while panfishing. i have a small boat with a trolling motor to fish from. ive tried every thing with no luck. any tips on how to catch the walleyes? thanks

    You could try using big shiners, chubs, or small sucker minnows under a float or lindy-rigging. Points, inside turns, rocks, weedlines some kind of cover or transition area should hold fish. Good Luck!

    Go out tonight and try trolling the shorelines.

    Sounds like the lakes down here in So. MN.
    Fish them like bass VERY shallow 1-4ft
    rattle baits,swimming jigs, X-raps & husky jerks
    slash and dash fishing no finess needed…
    good luck

    Try pitching jig and plastics to sahllow shorelines. Look for rock/sand transitions or rock/weed transitions. I’d concentrate on an early morning bite and a evening bit.
