    Have you tried night/low light? Some lakes the only way to buy a bite is to fish evening, dawn or the dead of night. The bite on your lake may come at 10PM or later! Other lakes they will bite all day long. General rule is deep during the day, shallower at night. Hope this helps. Tom

    Water clarity is another thing to consider when trying to find walleye. The dawn/dusk night bite is also a good time to throw Rapalas. It's so hard just to say start here or there or this spot or that spot. Tom has it right in finding the right time to fish, then work the location angle. In other words the deep end of a point at mid day and the shallow end in the mornings and evenings.
