As mentioned above for fishing methods - the state needs to allow live minnows for the catching of walleye. In most states they allow minnows but DWR requires you have a receipt with you for when and where they were bought - must be on same day as you are fishing. This helps to control the introduction issue the state is SOOO SCARED of.
I have a close buddy that wins many walleye tournaments and has NEVER won one without using live minnows. I have seen very few big walleye caught on anythign but minnows as where they are allowed few people use anything else.
Topwater in the even on a calm lake when chasing baitfish can be highly productive for big fish but due to not having many cisco in the lakes with wallys present this is not a usual sight in this area.
