I've caught most of my Gull walleye shallower but then again I've never really targeted them(fished it for pike for tournaments) so I assume if you find decent deeper structure they would be there too.
Short answer is that 4 hours mid day on a new lake doesn't give you much chance to find the fish. Put in a couple longer days covering ground to find spots that look interesting and and as mentioned try and catch the morning or evening bite.
Whether you target shallow, deep or in between I imagine with some work you will find walleye out there as I have always stumbled on my fair share and as mentioned wasn't even fishing for them specifically.
