Have caught them when there is still ice in places, must fish slow at those times, probably jig and minnow, as light a head as you can get by with. Also, tipping with a piece of crawler can work. If fishing a river, laying a chub on bottom is a good way, while casting your jig. If fishing out of a boat, your options increase, maybe vertical jig a blade bait. One of my favorites is a cast master with a dropper chain and treble, tipped with a minnow hooked through the tail. Works all year long. On a river, find your current breaks along with some rocks, and your set.

Amen to those! I love to use Moxi plastics as well favorite color orange core or firecracker on a 1/8th also depending on current. Ripple shads are killer for me as well.

Probably a minnow on a small jig would be my go to.

My biggest walleye ever though was in the spring on a 1/2 oz spinner bait while casting for Pike.

Floating jighead tipped with a minnow for me. Kinda irrelevant though as I suck at catching Walters.

I like the ripple shad also and ‘pro twitch tail’ powerbaits. I was out at the spillway today actually. I caught a seagull and so did the guy across from me. (so the birding is quite good right now)
