walleyes are the goal

If walleyes are the goal, pay close attention to sonar for the presence of baitfish. Unlike bass there usually won’t be any surface activity with walleyes, but locating the walleye’s food is just as important to catching them as it is to white bass or largemouth bass.
Something like the Raymarine Dragonfly 7 provides a very detailed picture of the bottom and reveals if baitfish are present or not. The Dragonfly 7 is a lot of sonar for not too much money.
This time of year, if there isn’t much for baitfish when fishing for walleyes, fishing doesn’t usually happen in that spot.
However, if the wind is blowing onto a point or shallow water structure, there might be fish feeding in the shallow.
