A  bottom bouncer with a 36 inch snell is a good option for deep
walleyes if they're spread out. Don't use a spinner or floater. I typically
just tie on a number six red  hook and stick the minnow right
through the lips. When you feel the bite on this rig set the hook immediately. Say your prayers before you hit the water for a shallow, fall feeding frenzy. This is when those walleyes move up onto a rock pile, rocky point, or rubble shoreline and start sucking up minnows as they try to stockpile some fat for the cold winter months.
Trolling crankbaits can find the spots where the fish are. Use a Mr. Walleye trolling board to get the lures up in six to ten feet of water where the fish are. The number five  Shad Rap and the number seven  floating Rapala are both good lure choices because neither dives too deep. Run the boat slowly. The water cools and the fish slow down so you don't want to make them have to chase the lure.
Once you connect with a fish either throw out a marker or punch in an  icon on your GPS. Where there's one you always hope for two (or more). You can make a few more passes with the crankbaits or cast a jig and minnow. I like casting to walleyes. When you hit them shallow they are always in a fighting mood. My favorite jig for this is the good old eighth-ounce  Fireball. Just run the jig's hook right through the mouth of the minnow and out behind the
head. The minnow stays on well when you hook it this way and they  stay alive longer. There's something about a live minnow, even if you are providing the action, that walleye prefer over a dead one.
I know it's tough when the ducks are flying, the geese are honking, and the grouse are zigging and zagging, but the walleyes are there for the taking. Shoot some birds in the morning and catch a few fish in the afternoon. There's nothing like a supper of "surf and turf" in the fall to  make us appreciate where we live.
