where to find walleye,
that really depends on the lake your fishing.
if you find them in the summer, you will have them marked for the winter, they dont realy move to much unless they go hunting for a dinner...
walley have no spicific feeding time.. they feed day and night, meaning when they are hungry they will hit. the trick is to be on top of them jigging, then drop below them and let it sit and play possom, walleye hit by going down as aposed to crappie that will hit by comming up.
to day I was catching crappie 6 inches below the ice, other days I will catch them 25 feet down, one thing to know about crappie, once you mark their depth for the day you pretty much just need to get back down to the same spot. most crappie hunters I know use hand over hand method and a bobber with a minnow or wax worm. pickled minnows work well too...
if you dont have a fish finder hug the drop off, drill your self about 10 holes about 10 feet apart along the drop off. go from hole to hole start at the top and jig your way down to the bottom then back up, if ya dont get a hit move to the next hole, then a gain and again till you hit them...
if you do have a fish finder or camera and you can see them and they wont hit, dont wory about it, just mark your hole and come back twards night fall or early morning or any time during a heavy over cast day... I tend to do my best on crappie befor 10 am and then slim to none till the last couple hours of day light to a couple hours after dark....
white or silver jigs for crappie, glow works well too....
