Bringing them up slowly is a very misunderstood myth. The absolute best thing to do if you're going to fish deep is to release the fish immediately, as they will go straight back down. All this nonsense about burping the fish is laughable....come on guys let's be reasonable.
To answer the initial question of where to fish. Slowly cruise the shorelines in depths from 20-40 feet when you mark fish throw down your spinner blades with worms or minnows. Worms work best. Walleye are where you find them at this time of year and they will be deep for the most part. If you do not have a sonar unit then troll spinner blades until you find fish, then work the area over and over. Good luck.
