As a man believes in his heart.......so is he

Change that self talk for starters.......if you think you suck at walleye fishing......well you probably will. It goes like this......"Hmmm, not getting a bite, yup, I stink at walleye fishin, might as well fish for something else" and then you quit after only a little effort.

PJ and wally have given great advice.

What time of year do you typically go? Late July and August can be tough without some live bait or a 20 horse motor (speed trolling  ;) ). If you have the patience jigging is tops. Find a point and keep drifting while maintaining contact with the bottom. Careful not to oversize your line. Heavy line equals fewer bites. Keep your forefinger on the line to help in feeling that "tick" when one snaps up your bait. Be sure to "snap" back. Jigs needn't be big or heavy unless the drift is fast.

I prefer trolling. Get a depth finder and like PJ says get a lure that runs at least 15 ft. Keep it within 3 ft of the bottom. A rod holder helps immensely in this style of fishing. June and early July I expect to catch several Walleye each day just by traveling to my next campsite. Piece of cake........well, most of the time ;D.
