You still have time to pick up & digest "A Boundary Waters Fishing Guide" by Michael Furtman.  It's a good resource for all the Big-4 species.

I'd give you actual advice, but most of the walleye I've caught have been by accident.  Someone said recently that you catch most of them near dusk, and I've seen that before even close to the surface at that time of day.

edit...I found the quote...

Quote:

you can catch 80% of your walleyes the hour, hour and one half right before dark in water under 10 feet.  Soon as the sun hits the treetops be ready for some quick action.  If you can stand the wind, try shallow rocky bays that the wind is blowing into.  Good luck. --------Pax
