Not to be overlooked is the advice on fishing shorelines that have been wind-pounded.  The longer they've been hit by the wind, the better.  Trolling parallel to the shoreline at various depths is a great strategy if it's not too dangerous to be broadside to the wind.  If it is, then you can stern anchor out a bit deeper  and cast into shore.  Once you've exhausted an anchor point, move a further down the shoreline and repeat.  On super-windy days, just walk the shoreline with your rod and a heavy lure and cast into the wind.  If you can get out on a point and cast parallel to the wind, even better.  Quite a few of my biggest walleye have come off these windy shores.
