Hey everyone, well once again fishing season is in full swing and I hopelessly try to catch walleye. I've lived in Slave Lake almost a year now and am still trying to figure out how to catch these Walleye. The only way I seem to be able to catch them is with a pickerrel rig and leaches. Don't get me wrong at least I'm catching a few here and there, but, sitting in the boat or river bank for hours just waiting is a little boring to me. Any advice on good spinners or types/colors of jigs would be great. I don't mind the hours I put in on the lake or river but I enjoy the casting/retrieving aspect rather than sitting.
Also what is a good starting depth to try to locate these fish? I was told 30+ feet is way too deep. I know it has to do with conditions but general guidelines would be great. For example 15 degree overcast day should I start about 15 feet of water or is that too deep? Not deep enough? 28 degree day start around 30 feet depth? I know I'll ask 100 people and get 100 different answers but any advice is better than none.
Hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction. If I at least get some advice on lures/spinners then I could figure the rest out.
