What is everyone using to catch walleye? Trolling or jigging? First time on the river. Thanks!

We are out here now. No walleye for us but other boats are catching them. We must be doing something wrong. LOL. Learning curve here. I think we are too slow on the hook set. Maybe real worms will work better??

Worms will work trolled with worm harness but most guys are v jigging and hammering them. Try braided line better sensitivity

It can be tricky to stay on them, they constantly move around, keep an eye on the fish finder and once you find the school, you should have no problem getting a few in the boat. On dark cloudy days use dark baits and more natural light coloured baits on sunny days. Good Luck! ;)
