If you can find them with sonar and then drop down to them you may have something.
I'm sure you realize that walleye fishing in Minnesota is vastly different than in Willard Bay. The lakes the Lindners fish with slip bobbers are full of walleyes...and the fish tend to school up and/or stay pretty much in one area. In Willard they are solitary and move around a lot in their constant search for food. So unless you find an area with a stable concentration of walleyes in Willard (highly unlikely) dropping a slip bobber rig down and waiting for action might be a long wait.
That being said, slip bobbers do work. I have used them in Willard for both perch and cats...but again only when I find a productive area with active fish. Oh yeah, I have also caught some big wipers on whole minnows below a bobber at Willard. And there are lots of folks who fish wipers below a bobber with either mussels or worms.
