live minnow l seen a guy catch a citation walleye here in virginia from the bank with a minnow

I've heard minnow or leech.

l have caught a lot of walleye on floating crank baits such as Rapella. Also try live bait such as a minnow with a slip bobber.

Try a 6'' suspending rapalla, the blue one worked for me this morning.

For fishing off of (your) dock, l would use a 1/8 to 1/4 oz. jig, preferably a Fuzz-E- Grub or a Northland Fireball, tipped with a 3 to 4'' minnow. You may need to add a stinger hook. Other options would be a 1/4 oz. jig head with a soft plastic minnow body (or a Berkley Gulp minnow) or a deep diving and/or suspending crank bait. Try fishing after dark. You might not have the best of luck, just limiting yourself to the dock. If u do not have a boat, try shore/dock/pier fishing where Lake St. Clair & the Detroit River meet.

use a leech minnow an a slip bobber rig with a split shot about a 12in above hook that way you can adjust your depth l would stay about a 18 inch of bottom and l wold try this after sun set
