Q:
Ever since I hooked a nice Walleye last year my dad has devoted every second in the boat with me to hooking into a couple good ones for the fryer. I usually try jigging different color twister tails and they seem to be working. Atre there any other methods/gear that would help get some 'eyes on the table?

sometimes simply sweeting up the jig with a minnow or leech can make all the difference in the world. i have had good success with slip bobbers when theres a slight chop on the water

Yes, bigjake's right. Minnows,leaches, or nightcrawlers will work too.
Sounds like a good idea. Probably the more natural, the better, right? Thanks for the info!
On days when you have trouble getting over top of good walleye holes, hook on a bottom bouncer and spinner rig with a stinger hook 6" from the spinner. Troll parallel to the shore line at depths where walleyes should be for that time of year. This is a very general method for covering some ground and it can also help you locate some holes you haven't found. I've put hundreds upon hundreds of walleyes in the boat with this method and I'm 24 years old.
gulp!
Gulp alive works great in shad or leech. Or you could try casting a silver or gold wally diver. Fishing at night will also help you catch lots of fish.
