Is it possible to catch summer walleye from shore?

Anythings possible!

The trick to walleye from shore is access. Often in the summer walleye will stack up just off a wind-blown point. If you can find such a spot and the wind co-operates, the 'eyes will be there!

is there a lure that works better from shore (day/night)

My best results for walleye from shore has come on live bait, with leeches being the bait of choice.

Don't hesitate to try shallow-running minnowbaits like Rapalas and such at daybreak or dusk on smaller rivers....especially in areas of gravel / small rocks.

Other lures to try are ANYTHING small & black...as they represent leeches. I've had decent catches over the years with a small (3/8 oz) BLACK spoon.

Reel them SLOWLY

River walleyes (and other fish) are constantly on the move...so either hang tight...or move up & down the river to various spots until you contact fish.

Lake walleyes will depend if you have any deeper water nearby. Certain lakes have populations that live near shallow weeds...but I would bet that there is probably either deeper water nearby...or else a HEALTHY perch / bait population in the area.

JMHO

Wallleye are travelers, they will follow the bait they are on until there is no longer enough bait to support the schoold of walleye, one day we will be fishing them in 40-50 feet of water and the next they could be as shallow as 12-15 feet of water or less those are the days shore will actually work better than a boat. If your fishing a pier than yes the possiblility of catching walleye from it is good on a given day. Somethings I look for are seagulls working the water, if you see a good number of seagulls working in and around the river mouth that means there is a good chance that White Bass or some other type of predator fish is feeding on the minnows, the eyes will be following the smaller predator fish feeding on them. As said I have used the large floating type rapala's in rough water #14's and Husky Jerks and Countdowns in the calmer water. It really depends on the body of water your fishing. Early morning or evening and through the night are best as the walleye are sensitive to to much light, work the mudlines if you have them. In rivers we also float night crawlers under a float trying to let it drag the bottom every now and then.

And as previously mentioned if you think your reeling slow real slower, its amazing sometimes how slow and lathargic they want their meal.

Good Luck

Hello all ...................I fish the ST.Joe river in Mishawaka ,IND.
